(I don't want to loose my data) It is "safe" in the way that it will work reliably without any known errors that would lead to data loss. However, if a file system contains data that you cannot afford to lose, it is _always_ a very good idea to have a current backup. And of course, the risk of losing data is much higher when you're modifying file systems. > Thanks > > PD: fdisk /dev/sda >Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System > /dev/sda1 * 1586447102548+ 7 HPFS/NTFS > /dev/sda258656085 1775182+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris > /dev/sda36086 24321 146480670 83 Linux > /dev/sda4 29500 30401 72453155 Extended > /dev/sda5 29500 30401 7245283+ b W95 FAT32 > > I want to get blocks from 24321 to 29500 (29499) into dev/sda3 This involves two steps: (1) Use fdisk to enlarge your /dev/sda3 partition to the new size: Set the last cylinder of that partition to 29499 (not 29500 !). You need to reboot to make the kernel use the new partition table. Now the partition is 40 GB larger, but the file system on that partition does not fill the complete partition yet. (2) Enlarge the file system on /dev/sda3 to completely fill the partition with "mount -o remount,resize". Regards, Dennis -- Send personal mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] only.

Resize jfs partition
Hi, I have "/" directory on a partition with jfs file system. It has 140Gb size, but I remove another partition with 40Gb that was behind "/" partition. So I want to resize my / to get these 40Gb. I read some sites to resize partitions with: # mount -o remount,resize /home But I thing that I can't do it with / partition. There are any way to get it?. If not, maybe I can get any live-cd distro and then resize it. It is safe? (I don't want to loose my data) Thanks PD: fdisk /dev/sda Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1586447102548+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda258656085 1775182+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda36086 24321 146480670 83 Linux /dev/sda4 29500 30401 72453155 Extended /dev/sda5 29500 30401 7245283+ b W95 FAT32 I want to get blocks from 24321 to 29500 (29499) into dev/sda3 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
