Does anyone know if i can resize an ext3 partition with parition magic ? Although ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2, that doesn't mean it is able to work in partition magic ? right ? need to resize my harddrive without installing over. too much to setup from start. i rather buy the software to repartition than to reinstall.

If PM is happy with that, it should all just work. Gnu parted should also work. Cheers, Stephen
Just my 2cents. I attempted to resize an extended partition with 3 ext2 partitions in it. I enlarged it and made my /usr partition larger. It failed horribly. PQmagic reported a partition table error #108 and I ended up having to re-install. This was with Partition Magic Pro 7.0. so, backup...backup..backup.> -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Lee [mailto:maillist@blitzen.net] > Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 06:17 AM > To: ext3-users@redhat.com > Subject: partition magic > > > Does anyone know if i can resize > an ext3 partition with parition magic ? > Although ext3 is backwards compatible > with ext2, that doesn't mean it is > able to work in partition magic ? right ? > > need to resize my harddrive without > installing over. too much to setup > from start. i rather buy the software > to repartition than to reinstall. > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Ext3-users mailing list > Ext3-users@redhat.com > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users >
