I found this article: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/18752/change-the-number-of-the-partition-from-sda1-to-sda2/18759#18759 According to it, I did: # sfdisk -d /dev/sda > myfile and edited sda.bkp my way. Then, # sfdisk --no-reread -f /dev/sda < myfile . Then I edited /etc/fstab properly and rebooted. But then I had to rescue the system: from a Debian installation disk, in rescue mode, from the boot partition, I did: # grub-install /dev/sda , then rebooted and now it seems ok. Maybe I had to give the last command before rebooting the first time. Rodolfo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
