Not necessarilly, it depends mostly on your partition layout. What partitions have you defined - please give device (disk) names and mount points. If you are in a situation where you can either temporarily delete a partition after having backed it up, or shrink an existing one to create a new one, then you should have some options available to you. Do a "man resize2fs" and read that. -- C. Linus Hicks <lhicks@xxxxxxxxx>
