Can't resize partition with qtparted / parted
Hi,
I would like to install Debian in a second partition beside fedora but
can't resize my fedora partition neither with qtparted nor with parted.
parted prints the following warning message:
Warning: You requested to resize the partition to 12103.660 -
41076.643MB.
The closest parted can manage is 12103.660 - 71076.643MB.
Ok/Cancel?
12103.660 - 71076.643MB is exactly the current size I want to change...
QTparted, started from SystemRescueCd ( http://www.sysresccd.org ),
would print to have been successful - but not resize anything...
Also, parted seems not to be able to understand the file system of my
fedora installation.
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32kB 13GB 13GB primary ntfs boot
3 13GB 13GB 107MB primary ext3
4 13GB 75GB 62GB extended lba
5 13GB 75GB 62GB logical lvm
2 75GB 80GB 5489MB primary fat32
(This listing was generated with parted installed in fedora; when I
actually tried to resize the partition I used the version on the newest
Knoppix CD. As Knoppix couldn't find an xserver working with my graphics
card I couldn't use QTparted and therefore tried to resize with parted.)
By the way, I also used QTparted (but an older version from
SystemRescueCd) to get the space from the Windows partition when I
installed fedora...
What can I do? Should I use some other tool - and if so, which one could
work?
Thanks, Dietrich
