hi .... the tool you may be lookin for is resize_reiserfs... but i must say i don't know if it resizes the entry in your partition table or if you must do that by hand ? another tool could be gnu parted ( but i don't know how to use that either )... ok now to the point i wanted to make...
im using reiserfs with lvm ( logical volume manager ).... in that combination it's quite easy resizing your partition.... take a look at http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-0102/msg01262.html there's a little introduction from a friendly debian user ( not in resizing but in setting up lvm with reiserfs ) !! i started with this and it worked fine :-) if you finally got lvm installed ( i see you have 10G to play with ) and have your first physical volumes , volume groups and logical volumes you can easily resize a logical volume with lvextend and than resize the reiserfs with resize_reiserfs... lvm is very very powerful ( creating logical volumes over 2 or more harddrives etc.. ) try it out.... if you have further questions don't mind asking me ( im not a crack but i did it recently )... cu peter On Saturday 24 February 2001 13:26, Phillip Deackes wrote: > I am experimenting with resierfs and have successfully created a resier > partition onto which I copies my Debian root filesystem.
