PM has claimed to support EXT3 for some time now. I don't know how well it works, since I haven't bought an update in years. OTOH, IIRC, PowerQuest funded the original work on the ext2/3 resize code, so there's every reason to think they know what they're doing. Interesting. I have Partition Magic 8.0, and it definitely does not resize ext3. I do see they have a 8.01 update from 2003, which I'm going to try. That would be very nice. I still have my floppy-based version of PM, which I use on occasion. I use it several times a week for NTFS or FAT32 and less often for ext2. Still works quite well. These days, I generally either use LVM or parted. I find parted is not as nice as PM is, in terms of how it works. I don't mean just the GUI-vs-CLI, I mean how it appears to go about doing certain things. OTOH, it gets the job done. I also have a long-standing distrust of Linux partitioning tools, having had them generate many a bogus partition table. I've had so many bad experiences in the past and am still a bit leery, that I usually don't repartition Linux, except with PQMagic. I have tried parted recently, and found it worked, so I may switch. I've rarely found the need for the flexibility that LVM provides. ... and their tech merged into Ghost ... I know PowerQuest's DriveImage was the chief competition against Symantec Ghost for awhile. I know that the current version of Ghost creates files with the extension PQ DI used, not the extension previous versions of Ghost used. So I think what happened was Symantec bought PQ, killed off Ghost (heh), and renamed DriveImage to Ghost. That's what I believe. We used to be beta-testers for all of PowerQuest's software. My last beta of DriveImage looks eerily (:-) like the current Ghost (beneath the skin at least). -- Dan Jenkins ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Rastech Inc., Bedford, NH, USA --- 1-603-206-9951 *** Technical Support Excellence for over a quarter century
