Hi all, I am new to gentoo and so far I really like it. But now, I am running out of disk space on my root partition (10 GB), although I have a rather small system with fluxbox (no KDE, GNOME,...). Thought gentoo would not waste my resources that much. Now I am thinking about how to resize my ext3 partitions. Bellow is the output of fdisk:
fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xbbc58b91 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 893 7168000 1c Hidden W95 FAT32 (LBA) Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 * 893 5968 40765440 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda3 10622 19458 70975488 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 10622 13575 23719972 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda6 13575 13581 54819 83 Linux /dev/sda7 13582 13831 2008093+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda8 13832 15077 10008463+ 83 Linux /dev/sda9 15078 19458 35182990 83 Linux sda8 is my root partition and sda9 is my home partition where there is plenty of space. Is there any safe way to resize with Linux tools? The descriptions found on google did not help me a lot... Thanks for your help! -- Regards, Marco
