Here's the situation. I have a dual boot machine - originally had Red Hat and Windows 2000 Pro. The NTFS partition never did seem to 'get along' with the Adaptec 2400A caching RAID controller. Linux always seemed to like the I2O drivers. I went from RH Enterprise to now running Centos 5.5. Works great! I really don't want the 200 gigs worth of NTFS. Can't I just run

parted fs resize is deprecated. http://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=6837 parted fs move can only move a partition into free space https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/html_node/move.html The thing to do here is use gparted live or Fedora live media and yum/dnf install gparted. It has a move/resize option that will do what the OP wants. Chris Murphy

I have a full disk image file (courtesy of ddrescue), and need to mount one of its partitions. I suppose I should have just extracted the single partition when I was using ddrescue, but right now I have the whole disk instead, and no disk space left to re-do the extraction (in fact I won't be able to use the system where I did it for several weeks, so I'd love to be able to mount just the

(apologies for the length - there are questions at the end...) I've been running Linux for 20 years, and done a lot of dual-boots. I know that's old-school now, but I run Linux 95% of the time yet don't want to lose a Windows system I've paid for - but I've never tried removing it from a system and reinstalling the same licenced copy inside a virtual machine. I bought a

Hello, I''m not able to mount a HPFS/NTFS domU partition.

My target is to mount file system domU machine (when domU is not active). In my domU configuration file I have: disk = [''phy:/dev/virtual_machines/xp_disk,hda,w'',

Just want to verify: CentOS 5's FS utilities are too old to safely resize a *live* (mounted, etc.) root file system (and the CentOS 5 installer/rescue system does not include either resize2fs or fsadm utilities). I am presuming I will need a full-fledged Live CD/DVD to resize the root file system. This is for an old 32-bit laptop that presently has CentOS 5.11 on it -- I want to shrink

Hi All, I feel this is the most simple question but I am currently going around and round in circles and searches keep bringing me up Windows tools!! :-( I have a 512MB USB drive that has a 12MB FAT16 partition on it. How can I resize this 12MB partition to grow and fill the whole 512MB drive? Just in case I am being stupid, here is what I am doing... :-) I would like a quick USB drive that

Hi. Libguestfs 1.14 Ubuntu 11.10 I am trying use virt-resize on NTFS partitions. I have installed Windows 2008 in an LVM partition (in order to use RAW) - I am trying to resize to a larger LVM partition. I have ntfsresize installed on the server - the windows partition is not encrypted. root at kvm1:~# ntfsresize -v ntfsresize v2011.4.12AR.4 (libntfs-3g) The attempt ends with an error
