  hey friends,

  18GB is full.
  There is one way I can achieve this target
  create a bigger partition say 35 GB(/dev/sdb8),mount this partition on
  /home1   copy   the   files   and  folders  from  /home(/dev/sda4)  to
  /home1(/dev/sdb8), edit the entry in fstab to mount (/dev/sdb8) on /home and
  then reboot the system.
  Is there any way I can resize the partition of /home without following the
  above example ? The partition type id ext3 what I wanted to know is  there
  any tool or utility on Linux which can do this?
  I am using FC3.


Look into parted. "yum info parted" (as root) should get you
started. After you install it, "info parted" for the docs.

For GUI front ends, you have your choice of gparted and
qtparted. They are available (for FC4) in extras.



I would also suggest you look at lvm on your new partition. It will allow you to add partitions to the volume. I just did it and it is great. :)
