Look for tools like partition magic / partition manager. They are now available for Linux as well! They provide you the best option for resizing the partition

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 5.2GB 4.2GB 707MB 86% /none 528MB 0 528MB 0% /dev/shm Actually the total disk size is 40GB, out of which i allocated only 5GB for Linux with 2GB for swap. And the remaining 33GB partition is unallocated. Now i want to increase the partition which is running, so that in future i dont run out of disk space. Any ideas on how to do this without disturbing the present setup ? regards, sandeep -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
