Thanks. I forgot about the nasty old fstab - successfully tried real
hard to forget it! :)
Thanks again,
Bob

Hi all,
Here is the issue & I am a relative newbie:
I have a older Linux server with two partitions: /mammdata and
/rgdata. The latter partition is no longer needed as the storage
requirements exploded and it was all moved to a NAS. /mammdata is
almost full. Will this scenario work:
1. Back up all data on /mammdata (this is a SMB share)
2. fdisk and delete the partitions /mammdata and /rgdata1
3. create a new partition to use all the space no longer used by the
two deleted partitions
4. mkfs.ext3 -jvL pt-data
You'll probably need a reboot here. And DON"T forget to fix /etc/fstab
before the reboot.
5. restore the backed up data from originally on /mammdata
Thanks for you input,
Bob
