Maybe I should have been more verbose - I know how to resize the FS, it's a no brainer. the problem is resizing the partition to the max without having to find the media size, or at the very least figuring out what is the maximum size it's alowed to be set to. I can get the info in sectors with fdisk -lu, then I could get, process and write back the partition table with sfdisk, but it is hard to get the right number of sections for the partitions. for instance, I have here a CF card of 1GB, it has 2001888 sectors, but if I use fdisk to create a partition with the default maximum size it ends at 2001855 - so is it a problem if I set the partition end to the end of the disk or how do I find out the number of sectors to leave out if it needs to land on the mysterious and anacronistic "cylinder boundery"? -- The doctor is |IN| Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
