If you can read this, =>can you, please, reply to the list? Thanks! --Marcin Marcin, I feel your pain. I just had a need to write a tool for something that involved a partition resize. My take on it is that parted does not work. Plain and simple. It may work without some of the attributes on ext2 partitions that Fedora uses by default, but to divest your partition of those attributes requires that you run fsck after and then all the files that had that attribute gets deleted. I repeat. It doesn't work. Another possibility is to make a partition smaller using resize2fs. That seems to sort of work but it doesn't really do you any good. If you make a partition smaller, fdisk still won't know that the adjacent partiton could be made bigger. Let me know if you make out any better. -- Time flies like the wind.
