Hi, I'm trying to resize a partition. I've seached google but most of the results are people asking this question and other people telling them to search google.
I tried deleting partition 2, then recreated it at the same starting cylinder. This made the Extended partition bigger but the rest of the partitions disappeared. So I quit and asked for help. Do I need to re-create the other partitions as well when I extended partition 2? Thanks in advance, Andy. Her eis the output from fdisk before and I delete and re-create partition 2 $fdisk /dev/hda The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 4998. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 4998 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 3 24066 83 Linux /dev/hda2 4 188 1486012+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 4 69 530113+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda6 70 135 530113+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 136 168 265041 83 Linux /dev/hda8 169 175 56196 83 Linux /dev/hda9 176 188 104391 83 Linux <snip> Command (m for help): p Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 3 24066 83 Linux /dev/hda2 4 4998 40122337+ 5 Extended -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
