Short answer: yes. You could (very carefully) shrink the high side of sda2, then expand sda3 into that area. You'll need to shrink/expand filesystems as well as partitions. Be very sure of what you're doing, or you could hose things up. Also be sure to have a backup. Alternatively (or in addition), you could get rid of sda5-7, copying them directly onto the root partition. Then remove the extended partition, expand sda3 on the upside, then recreate the extended partition and put a swap partition there. Or, you might consider starting from a bare drive and use LVM. ;) -- -Eric 'shubes' _______________________________________________ PLUG-applications mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plug.phoenix.az.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-applications Reminder: All replies will go back to this mailing list.
