Ah, so if I was willing to drop down into a livecd to do so, I could still extend it … just not online/live. I don't think that'd be a problem, for me. Hmm. I don't see a note or restriction about resizing a root partition in the man page for resize2fs.

It's not terribly arduous. A Linux Journal article[1] from > April of 2006 walks the reader through the process nicely. It seems like this is even easier in the non-recovery case, so long as I take care to have a "safe" copy of the physical/logical configuration details … so if something were to go wrong, I'd not need to interrogate the drives or (mis)remember from the long-ago setup of what everything is configured to be. Of course, if I just kept a "sane" / and put everything else in LVM, it'd be even easier to deal with. -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo $...@${b}
