hi suman, if u have some other space in ur system, move the /usr data into tht partition, then using fdisk mark both partitions as 8e ie LVM, and then proceed. This is what i would do if i have enough space.
>1) Format the ntfs partition and move and softlink some of the >directories in the new partition. There is a small problem in this, u cannot utilize the 3gb addtional space effectively. I think tht would be very bad idea. >2) Merge the partitions.(is there a way to do this without touching >the >data?) Yes provided u had a LVM from the start. but now no. >Also, someone has told me that softlinking some directories in /usr >is >not a good idea.

As far as i know no performance issues but utilization issues come up. u might end up saying space, space evrywhere except where i need it. ;) regards, kiran [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ----------------------------------------------- Next Meeting as on our Website: http://ilughyd.org.in ----------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
