Re-size disk partitions

[Rob Wright]

Greetings,

I'm using Red Hat 7.3. My partition table looks like this:

rwright@aphrodite ~ > df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb7 381139 163205 198256 46% /
/dev/sdb1 46636 13922 30306 32% /boot
/dev/sdb6 20849112 149448 19640584 1% /home
none 1032568 0 1032568 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb2 41547796 976036 38461224 3% /usr
/dev/sdb5 1004024 164676 788344 18% /var

I'd like to resize /dev/sdb6 to 40Gb by shrinking /dev/sdb2 to ~20Gb, but I'd like to be able to keep the data that I have now and not do a complete reinstall of the system. Is this possible? If it is possible, is it reasonable to do so? I've found information on parted which looks like the tool to use, is this correct?

Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob Wright
