My disk now looks like this: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 11G 9.2G 1.4G 88% / udev 264M 242k 264M 1% /dev /dev/hda4 4.9G 4.6G 329M 94% /home /dev/hda5 25G 21G 3.9G 85% /mnt/share none 264M 0 264M 0% /dev/shm where hda5 is an extended part located after hda1 and before swap. At the ends is hda4. All parts are reiserfs unless hda5 which is FAT and I want to get rid of it. So what I want to do is to increase the size of hda1 and move some things around. I plan to remove the extended partition, thereby creating space right after hda1 so that this one can be increased. Then I intend to create a new swap part of 1Gb right after the new hda1 and use the remaining space for /home. So my question is, can I do all this using QTParted? And in a normal session, without unmouting any partitions, or do I need to boot from a install-cd? Any comments on the partitioning are also welcome. Thanks for your time, Fernando -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
