Resizing Partitions
Is there a way to change the partition scheme without data loss or
re-formatting? I have a PowerBook 3400/potato. My partition scheme is:
/dev/hda
# type name length base ( size ) system
/dev/hda1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31.5k) Partition map
/dev/hda2 Apple_Driver43 Macintosh 54 @ 64 ( 27.0k) Driver 4.3
/dev/hda3 Apple_Driver43 Macintosh 74 @ 118 ( 37.0k) Driver 4.3
/dev/hda4 Apple_Driver_ATA Macintosh 54 @ 192 ( 27.0k) Unknown
/dev/hda5 Apple_Driver_ATA Macintosh 74 @ 246 ( 37.0k) Unknown
/dev/hda6 Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 320 (256.0k) Unknown
/dev/hda7 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 / 2137464 @ 832 ( 1.0G) Linux native
/dev/hda8 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 163840 @ 2138296 ( 80.0M) Linux swap
/dev/hda9 Apple_HFS untitled 3 511973 @ 2302136 (250.0M) HFS
/dev/hda10 Apple_Free Extra 8291 @ 2814109 ( 4.0M) Free space
Block size=512, Number of Blocks=2822399
DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0
Drivers-
1: @ 64 for 22, type=0x1
2: @ 118 for 36, type=0xffff
3: @ 192 for 20, type=0x701
4: @ 246 for 33, type=0xf8ff
I would like to grow my ext2 /dev/hda7 at the expense of the mac
partition /dev/hda9 (for which 50mb should be enough). Plan B: If possible, I
would also like to add an Apple_Bootstrap partition for yaboot.
I could also swap my data to another HDD if necessary; it would be
fine to use this ext.HDD as a mirror for my int.HDD. Is there a tool
that mirrors /dev/hda7 including all ext2 permissions?
