Unfortunately the only practical way to change the size of an ext2 filesystem is to recreate it. You would have been better off creating an ext2 filesystem on the spare partition and mounting it somewhere useful, for instance as /var or /tmp. If you can remember EXACTLY how the disk was partitioned before you made the change then you might be able to recreate this 15Mb partition, but it's even more dangerous than deleting the 15Mb partition was in the first place; you are likely to lose your filesystem. (The impression I'm trying to convey is that if you try this and lose your filesystem, don't complain.) Steve Early [EMAIL PROTECTED]
