fdisk allows you to create and delete partitions, not resize them. take a look at parted. it has some really awful restrictions for ext2/3, and the docs are prolly more complicated than they should be, but i was able to resize my /var partition successfully with it about a year ago. i remember someone mentioning that there was an open source resizer other than parted, but i can't remember its name. > I want to be able to do this without having to backing anything up. heh. you're kidding, right? pete -- First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. -- Gandhi, being prophetic about Linux.
