Hi Guys, Just want to ask your opinion in resizing an ext3 partition, we have an ext3 /home partition wherein the size is always critical ( bad partitioning scheme ), and we have another partition /dbdata wherein there's plenty of free disk space, so basically what we want is to resize the /home partition by reducing the /dbdata partition. Most of the howto I've googled uses a live cd and rebooting the machine, is there a way to do it without rebooting the machine? Will turning off some services using the partition and just unmounting the said partition with the use of parted and tune2fs suffice? The machine is almost 2yrs up and we can't afford any downtime cause by a machine shutdown.
