2009/1/31 Rodrigo Hashimoto rodh...@gmail.com: Yes, there's data but if I loose it no problem, I'm using my usb flash drive to test this partition resize. Like Ron said, gparted is the correct tool to use if there is dada you want to keep. I'd suggest that at least some of your data is toast from playing with fdisk. If you want to delete and recreate the partitions (then filesystems later) using fdisk it will work. I think what you are doing isn't working because possibly some inodes exist beyond the new partition boundary and thengs are getting confused.

Resizing vfat partition with fdisk ??
Hi there, I have some troubles while resizing my vfat partition with fdisk. First it was strange because in fdisk the partitions were fine as following: - *debian-lap:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 4022 MB, 4022337536 bytes 29 heads, 28 sectors/track, 9675 cylinders Units = cylinders of 812 * 512 = 415744 bytes Disk identifier: 0x04030201 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 11928 782754b W95 FAT32 /dev/sdb219299675 3145282b W95 FAT32 debian-lap:~# debian-lap:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdb1 Disk /dev/sdb1: 801 MB, 801540096 bytes 29 heads, 28 sectors/track, 1927 cylinders Units = cylinders of 812 * 512 = 415744 bytes Disk identifier: 0x Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System debian-lap:~# debian-lap:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdb2 Disk /dev/sdb2: 3220 MB, 3220768768 bytes 29 heads, 28 sectors/track, 7747 cylinders Units = cylinders of 812 * 512 = 415744 bytes Disk identifier: 0x Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System debian-lap:~# * - But the system was recognizing a different size like: - *debian-lap:~# df -h /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2 FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb1 3.8G 395M 3.4G 11% /media/disk /dev/sdb2 3.0G 4.0K 3.0G 1% /mnt/flash debian-lap:~# * - After I tried to fix it using the gparted (but my goal is to do that using fdisk tool) and now the number of cylinders seems decreased from 9675 to 489, look: - *debian-lap:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 4022 MB, 4022337536 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 489 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x04030201 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 489 3927861b W95 FAT32 debian-lap:~# * - Any idea ?
