Hi, I am a new user of parted. I'm trying to rearrange my disk, which is currently divided into 4 partitions:
Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-57231.562 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 19077.187 primary ext3 boot 2 19077.188 19563.530 primary linux-swap 3 19563.530 38648.562 primary ext3 4 38648.562 57231.562 primary ext2 df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 19G 2.3G 16G 14% / /dev/hda3 19G 18G 276M 99% /home /dev/hda4 18G 17G 314M 99% /music I would like to shrink the root partition down to 10G and increase the size of the /home partition to 27G using the freed-up space. However, the parted docs clearly state that a partition cannot be resized except when keeping the SAME starting point. So I thought of using the move command to move the whole /home partition downward by 9G. But I've read elsewhere that the move command can only be used when the source and destination areas are non-overlapping. Is there any trick I can use to shrink /dev/hda1 and grow /dev/hda2 downward? Thanks!! Dan Lenski [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Bug-parted mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted
