Use fdisk (or similar tool) to change the end cylinder of the partition to the end of the disk. Do not change the start cylinder. Then run "resize2fs /dev/sda5" to grow the filesystem to take up the rest of the space. Oh, of course make sure you have a backup first. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
