Current disk/partitions:
- two identical IDE drives configured in master/slave configuration
- master has one primary partition (hda1) with Windows
- slave has one primary partition (hdb1) and one extended partition containing
4 logical partitions
- the 4 logical partitions on the slave drive have all my linux filesystems.
So:
/dev/hda1 Windows FAT C:
/dev/hdb1 Windows FAT D:
/dev/hdb2 Linux extended
/dev/hdb6 Linux ext2 /
/dev/hdb7 Linux Swap
/dev/hdb8 Linux ext2 /home
/dev/hdb5 Linux ext2 /apps
I am planning to remove Windows completely. I was hoping to use diskdrake to
reformat hda and create one primary and one extended partition
Questions:
1. Once I am done with that, how do I correctly move the root filesystem from hdb6
over to the newly created primary partition on hda.
2. Also, how do I go about configuring lilo and fstab to reflect the changes.
3. Is all of this neccessary or should I just reinstall 8.1 after reformatting hda?
Thanks in advance for your help
