Any way to resize a ext3 partition ?

I'm trying with parted:


I guess you'll have to do it manually with resize2fs and fdisk. Just read the man page carefully, and think of it as a 2 or 3-step process:

Growing:

1. use fdisk to grow the partition first.

2. use resize2fs to grow the filesystem.

Shrinking:

1. use resize2fs to shink the filesystem to a point well below (at least 10% below) the size you want for the partition.

2. use fdisk to resize the partition.

3. use resize2fs to grow the filesystem to fill the partitition.
