Use lsof to make sure nothing live is accessing "/media/despensa. Remount it read-only Copy its contents to /media/armzem, with something like "rsync", or re-arrange your materials into a saner directory configuration. mounting configuration. (/media is normally used for auto-mounting CD's and other detachable media.) Remounting /dev/sda6 as /external/, for example, and moving "armazem" contents into a directory called "/external/armazem" should do. Then you can copy "/media/despensa" to "/external/despensa". Your partition has the space. Delete /dev/sda7: use gparted to do this step. Expand /dev/sda6 to use the space formerly used by /dev/sda7 with gparted. Expand the filesystem on /dev/sda6 to fill the enlarged partition. Voila, you're done! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
