Hi,
I have run out of space on my Linux box. Now what i want to do is some how shrink the windows partition and increase the linux partition.
 
Now problem no. 1,
-->How do i format a partition on ext2fs to use it under linux.
 
After that.. when i have formatted that partition there are two choises.. either  I make an extra directory like /mnt/NewPart and put an entry in fstab where that partition is always mounted, or i can(if i can , i dont know that) move one of my very heavily used directories like /home to that partition. I know how to do the prior one (using fstab and making an extra directory in /mnt/BlaBla or anywhere) but i dont know how to move any of my exhisting directories and mount them on a new partition(if it is possible).
 
So problem no. 2,
-->If we can move any of the current directies on a new partition and mount that partition on startup.
 
I would appreiciate if i get any help on this,
Sheikh Nauman-ul-Haque
