fdisk shows the following info: Disk /dev/hdc: 30.0 GB, 30020272128 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 58168 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 * 1 5817 2931736+ 83 Linux /dev/hdc2 57921 58168 124992 5 Extended /dev/hdc3 5818 57920 26259912 83 Linux /dev/hdc5 57921 58168 124960+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hdc1 is my root partition, and is, as you see, around 3BG; /dev/hdc3 is my /home partition, and runs around 25GB. I allocated around 128MB to swap (/dev/hdc5). Can I repartition this drive? The /home partition currently shows only 29% usage (about 50% of which will be thrown on to CD-R shortly). -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://matthew.weierophinney.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
