You are missing the "create partitions" part :) Just adding entries in fstab does not create partitions. You need first to resize the partition on which suse resides. If you use ubutu, I think the the right tool is gparted (I may be wrong). After you resize this partition, you can create new ones on the freed space. But before you resize the partition, make sure u resize the filesystem, otherwise you will corrupt it. Actually, I still do not know exactly your situation. Is it: 1. Install suse with default settings (i.e. use the whole disk) 2. run ubuntu live cd or 2. install ubuntu, letting it to resize the suse partition and make space for itself?
