This is kind of OT in regards to the initial question, but in regards to resizing partitions you do have a few options. ReiserFS does have it's own resize utility (part of the reiserfsprogs package) which can do all sorts of resizing operations. (I've actually had mixed results with using parted on reiserfs partitions, so I'd suggest sticking with the most current official programs.) In regards to resizing ext2/3 partitions, it is true that the beginning of the partition must remain fixed. I believe that MOVE operations will work on ext partitions however. So given the following: Minor Start End 1: 1 100 2: 101 200 3: 201 300 You could do something along the lines of: resize 1 1 50 move 2 51 150 resize 2 51 200 -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
