My hard drive is only 40 gb, and being that Linux is just my toy(though I rarely use Windows unless I have a problem with Linux), it has only 15 GB. Of course if I ever need more space I can always resize without losing data...I think. I've never actually tried resizing a Linux partition. Will data loss occur?
