I have a pe2950 running server 2003. It has a perc5 with a RAID 5 array and 1 virtual disk.
There is a small Dell diagnostic partition, C: is 16 Gb and d: is 250 Gb with 50% free. I used a gparted live CD (11.0.2). I tagged the larger partition (/dev/sda3) and told it to resize by adding 8000 Mb to the left. It announced "shrinking /dev/sda3 from 250 to 242 Gb and moving it to the right. 2 1/2 hours later it completed. When it rescanned it showed there was 8 Gb of free space to the right of the last partition. That is exactly the opposite of what I told it to do and what it reported it was doing. Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
