Now that you've broke it, I'd like to suggest to learn and refrain from using old fashioned partitioning. Instead, I'd strongly suggest to use LVM instead. With LVM, it's no problem at all to increase the size of filesystems. Actually, the "proper" use of LVM includes that the filesystems will be increased when there's need; with LVM, it's normally suggested to make the filesystems as small as needed and then add space on them, when required. I'd suggest to read the LVM howto at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ Alexander Skwar -- /* This bit of chicanery makes a unary function followed by a parenthesis into a function with one argument, highest precedence. */ -- Larry Wall in toke.c from the perl source code -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
