If, however, the query is how do I reset my partitions with active data
without transferring that data, the answer is: you don't. I don't know
of any programs that can handle such a task reliably.
LVM can migrade data between drives on a live system, and the space it
allocates for a partition doesn't need to be contiguous, so it gives a lot
more flexibility.
Sure, but that's LVM. His current system isn't LVM.
Boy, sorry, I need to read better.
Parted/qparted claims to be able to move and resize partitions, but I have
no idea if it works or if it is safe to do so. It's been part of knoppix
for a while.
