If you want to have "hot resible" partitions i advise you to use LVM+reiserfs in parted of fdisk you would have 2 parts one with 100M (for the / boot) in ext2 or ext3 and then the rest of your disk in LVM (type is 8e) on the LVM part you will create with diskdruid a volume group (maybe vg00) in which you will create the following logical volume : RootLv(mounted on /) VarLV(Monted on /var) TmpLv(Mounted on /tmp) UsrLV(Mounted on /usr) HomeLv(Mounted on /home) SwapLv(the swap) Then when you 'll be able to boot your system you'll easily extends for example /home with this command (your vg called "vg00") : lvextend -L +100M -n HomeLv #This extend the LV resize_reiserfs /dev/vg00/HomeLv# This will extend the fs Your /home has been grown of 100M without umout it.....THAT HAPYNESS !!! enjoy FC1 Le mer 21/01/2004 à 23:42, Lorenzo Prince a écrit : > Is it possible to resize the / partition using Parted?
