I have been reading the man page of ntfsresize, and we are told that if we have a 40G hda1 partition containing ntfs that we want to shrink to 20G (so we can use the rest for Linux), the command to give is
ntfsresize -s 20G /dev/hda1 The unit G is 10^9, that is, 1k=1000 and not 1024. After the filesystem is resized, we can physically shrink the partition to 20G, by using linux fdisk. We can give the same starting track number to fdisk, namely track #1, and when prompted for ending track number, do we give +20000M, or do we give some smaller value? I believe that for fdisk 1k=1024. My arithmetic is rusty, so take out your calculators and help me please. Thanks.
