I recently decided to resize my reiserfs root partition, used resize_reiserfs to shrink the filesystem, then used cfdisk to resize the device. Everything went according to plan, although it was a somewhat unnerving experience because in order to resize using cfdisk u have to delete then recreate the partition, which wasn't clearly documented anywhere... Anyway, now Ive got a problem because my disk at the moment has 3 primary partitions, 1 boot part., 1 swap part, and one root part. for gentoo.
the problem is i cant create a new primary partition which i need to do if i want to install windows beside gentoo, which i also need to do. does anyone know if it would be possible to replace my boot and swap partitions with identically sized logical partitions inside a single primary partition? has anyone attempted this? it occurs to me that that would be the simplest solution... anyone have any other ideas? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
