Hi, I have the following partition table /dev/hdb6 9004120 8780172 223948 98% / udev 452040 108 451932 1% /dev /dev/hdb8 8803312 8388844 414468 96% /usr /dev/hdb1 12289692 11802356 487336 97% /winsux /dev/hdb2 10080520 7198664 2369788 76% /mnt/ubuntu /dev/hdb7 39068848 37834076 1234772 97% /mnt/b40 none 452040 0 452040 0% /dev/shm
Basically, I want to give my ntfs windows winsux partition half the disk (.net2 is so enormous I have no space for anything else...). I have an 250gig external usb hd that I am formatting in ext3 (and it looks like it will take several hours!) that can be used for transfer. I would like to create images of both windows and gentoo and then restore afterwards - basically only / and /usr need to be imaged (I guess I could just copy them, and may end up doing that...) but I am pretty sure a straight copy of windows won't work. What I *might* try is to copy linux to the server or external hd and then simply resize the ntfs partition with ntfsresize. I have had success resizing ntfs with rescuecd so might go that route.
Anyone got any suggestions on the best approach? dd? cp + ntfsresize? Cheers Antoine -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
