I've painted myself into a corner where i need/want to turn a Linux only box into a dual boot box with Win2k. Right now, the box (which is a laptop) has just RH9 (XFS) installed, and occupying the entire disk as follows: hda1 /boot hda2 SWAP hda3 /
What I need to do is resize hda3 so that its about 5 GB smaller, so that i can create a hda4 to install Win2k on. The problem here is that xfs_growfs doesn't appear to support shrinking partitions, just growing them. Is shrinking an XFS partition even possible? If so, how?
thanks!
If you find that it's a dump/load process, you might want to look at a vmware installation. I used it about a year ago and it seemed to work fine for me. I think there is still an evaluation version which is good for 30 days.

Unfortunately, i already tried that route. my wife loves the game, Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (note the two, the first release actually does run with wine & vmware), and it requires DirectDraw support that just won't work in VMware. I also tried with wine, and ran into other problems. As much as I hate it, Win2k seems to be the only solution. thanks though.
S'posed to work with Transgaming's WineX... http://www.transgaming.com/gamepage.php?gameid=676
IIRC, WineX's CVS code is available for download, but it might be worth a donation to Transgaming, if only to avoid having to soil your PC with Win2K...
