It also seems to me some extended partitions will be involved. If you pulled it off it seems to me that in only 2 places would changes need to be made, In grub.conf and fstab. However, I am extremely suspicious of how the changing of the device addresses would work with extended partitions in your situation. It would seem to me it would be safer to simulate three partitions in your existing partition with directory names in the existing partition. The only thing that would be a problem would be the 10G sizes. -- ======================================================================= There is no choice before us.
