Read the man page. The easiest usage (and I assume most common) is:
I did read the man page. The whole thing. If counfused the heck out
of me. I just got so scared I'd start writing over blocks belonging
to another partition or something...
What I ended up doing was backing up all my data to DVD (something I
should do periodically anyways) and then reinstalling the whole OS.
Works just fine, and I got rid of a whole mess of junk I installed and
then found out that I don't want installed.
BTW: One of the most valuable tips already given in this thread
was to use EVMS or LVM. With EVMS or LVM, you just don't have
problems like this.
Next time I'm installing a system I'll look for that. I know LVM is a
very powerful tool, but I haven't used it yet.
