yup, my intention is to increase the size of the / partition. I found few writeups, a bit scary. Any way I will try them out. problem is fre space is just after /dev/sda6 and linux partition is on /dev/sda8 On Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 7:19 PM, Syam wrote: > > > On Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 2:49 PM, sunil s wrote: > >> I think his intention is not for using LVM but to use the extra 6GB >> Create a new partition using fdisk >> format that partition >> mount it to a directory >> add the mount directory in /etc/fstab > > > He wants to *add* the extra space to an existing partition. > > -- > Regards, > > Syam > sya...@gmail.com > > > > > -- Miles to go before I Sleep --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ "Freedom is the only law".
