repartitioning safely [was Re: backup of changed files]
You're right. I have already done this. I thought it would be easier to
reinstall if I had a CD with only the changes on it.
Anyway, I really should have asked a different question. What I
really want to do is repartiton the harddrive safely.
Right now it looks like this
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 1.9G 84M 1.8G 4% /
/dev/hda1 15M 1.3M 13M 9% /boot
/dev/hda6 957M 496k 908M 0% /home
/dev/hda7 957M 26M 883M 3% /var
As you can see, my root partition is huge. I want to shrink that down
to 512MB and split the rest of it between /home and /var. Is there a
safe way to do this?
