Hi,
Use GNU parted - standard on many distributions.
Boot off a disk with it (floppy/cdrom)
Shrink /home
move /var to or near the block where /home ends. Grow /var to fill the space that lies between it's last block and that of /tmp.
1.The assumption is that the partitions are logically arranged as you have written them
2. That both /home and /var either lie in the primary partition or both are on the extended partition.

Hi buddies got some server far far-away that was installed the way I
don't like.Can someone advise on how I can repartition without reinstalling.
I found 'qtparted' but somehow shaky about it.I don't want to pay extra
$$$ .The partition I want to grab from is /home and add to /var.
/home has 65Giggs ie 10x /var which is stupid (couldn't have been done
by someone in here) :-\ .
Distro = FC3
Filesystem = ext3
No. of partitions = 4
/boot,/home,/var,/tmp
Thanx in advance.
Ronny
P.S
Server is in production like this mail passed throught it :-)
Thanks
