If you are going to do this a lot and want to be able to adjust sizes easily take a look at LVM. I have set it up on all but my root partition (needs initrd and I am using this with debian kernels so was not sure I could build a combined version). You will need to work through the logic of using parted (which I see from a reply in this thread you already have installed) to create some space and then creating logical volumes and copying filesystems on to them, changing the mount points in fstab and remounting in the new arrangement. With the space just released - add it to your logical volume - then start creating more logical partitions - and so on. There is a howto that is intalled in /usr/share/doc/lvm10 - although may just want to locate it on the web. I found it very easy to do - just a bit slow as I have a total of about 80GB set up as a logical volume and I had to copy (used rsync) from the physical to the logical (in small steps). It took me about an afternoon to make the transition in the end. - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9uqeXuFHxcV2FFoIRAuiQAJkBKYlT5CNjO90JladcxO4OFNEUcgCgqS5I WONR1Fsy8AimdT/m06HoUBs= =vpaD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
