Partition Magic 3 does claim to have support for ext2fs. It does a very good job on moving, resizing, converting partitions from NTFS - FAT - FAT32 - HPFS. I've never actually tried doing anything to an ext2fs partition yet. I need to get a better backup device first :). It's a tool I just keep going back to. Well worth the money.
I'm sure FIPS does a good job for a one off re-size of a partition, but I've never used it, so I wouldn't like to comment. >---------- >From: Hamish Moffatt[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: 01 July 1997 11:34 >To: Stig Sandbeck Mathisen >Cc: Debian User List >Subject: Re: I need a disk partitioner!!! > >On Tue, Jul 01, 1997 at 11:00:22AM +0200, Stig Sandbeck Mathisen wrote: >> >>>>> "BN" == Bob Nielsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >> >> BN> Two possibilities come to mind: >> >> BN> FIPS (at ftp.debian.org in /debian/tools), [...] >> >> BN> Partition Magic, a commercial program which [...] >> >> Does both of these also support moving a partition, not just resizing? > >Partition Magic 2 at least won't move or do anything to ext2fs. >It also tends to be pretty cryptic if it thinks there's anything >wrong with a partition table; just gives an error and won't touch >the disk; no error message, just a code. > >I would think 3.0 would be better in this regard, but I haven't seen it. > >Hamish >-- >Hamish Moffatt, StudIEAust [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Student, computer science & computer systems engineering. 3rd year, RMIT. >http://hamish.home.ml.org/ (PGP key here) CPOM: [**** ] 49% >The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth. --Bohr > > >-- >TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to >[EMAIL PROTECTED] .
