Hi all,
I have a machine running Debian Woody. There's one
120GB hard drive, /dev/hda. When I installed Debian a
few months ago, I split the disk into two 60GB
partitions. I figured that I'd install another OS in
the second partition. I never did. Now, I want to
recombine the partitions into one, big chunk.
This would be a pretty straightforward use of parted,
I assume, but here's the rub: For some reason, the
Debian installer put / on /dev/hda1 and /usr on
/dev/hda3. If I just delete /dev/hda3, I'll destroy
/usr, right? That, I presume, would be bad.
So how to I handle this? Can I just mount /usr on
/dev/hda1, then delete /dev/hda3? Or is my /usr data
on /dev/hda3? I guess I just don't understand
partitioning that well and I'm confused. Any
suggestions?
