ys welcome to help with this one.
Is someone working on this? This is something that should probably
go in GNU Parted at some point. This shouldn't be a big deal, but
it would be useful to talk about it. I might even be able to help,
although NTFS resizing is higher priority...

So can your ext2 resizer move the start? Can it move it, even if the
blocks don't align?

Could we use that? It would probably screw up fdisk, but everyone
will be using parted anyway ;-) (Seriously: we could change fdisk)

tion. We need something that DOS recognises as a single vanilla
partition.

up :-(
I know this is messy, but: it's probably possible to fake it at
the partition table end. I.e., have some magic partition type
that has some header, saying where the "real" start of the partition
is, etc.
Argghh. Forget it.

llow us to keep all the blocks aligned properly,
during a resize.
Thanks!

Hi all,
Any comments?
i mentioned in some remarks to benno how important i thought it was to
preallocate the files used for hard disk recording under linux.
i was doing more work on ardour yesterday, and had the occasion to
create some new "tapes", of lengths from 2 to 40 minutes.

This is exactly what I need! Thanks!

y, I can't force/recommend users use devfs.
Also, Parted will be run *after* any chroot, so copying
rdev is out of the question.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks,

Permission denied (even as root), for obvious reasons.

What if rdev isn't on the chroot'ed root? Also, does rdev need find
the kernel image, or does it ask the kernel?
Thanks!

Doesn't work with chroot :-(
/proc isn't smart enough to tell if it&
what /dev/root is?
(My motivation is to check if a partition is mounted)
I don't think checking /etc/fstab for "/" would be a
good solution. If a user chroot's, to run Parted off
the hard disk (after booting off a floppy), /etc/fstab
wouldn't match.
Any ideas?
