Hi all, I have a HDD (the only one, in fact) with the following layout ,
as reported by df :
/dev/sda2 99G 886M 93G 1% /
/dev/sda1 2.0G 170M 1.8G 9% /boot
/dev/sda5 345G 232G 96G 71% /home
/dev/sda8 29G 172M 27G 1% /tmp
/dev/sda6 59G 5.2G 54G 9% /usr
/dev/sda7 20G 3.1G 17G 16% /var
Now, at the end, I have some 137 GB unpartitioned/unformatted. How can I
use this free space, since gparted ran from a LiveCD tells me that I
need to make a logical partition (which is /dev/sda4) in order to create
partitions anew in that free space. It's probably lack of sleep, but
please help me out here. :)
You're worried that that a mass renaming of partition numbers will
cause your system to not reboot? That's why LABEL and UUID are now
used in grub (lilo is restricted to device names) and fstab.
