Hi.. I'm wondering how I'd go about doing this... It's not really a RAQ specific question so I'm asking it here..
My current setup is like this:
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 19846 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 1524 768095+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 1525 1785 131544 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 1786 2192 205128 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 2193 19846 8897616 83 Linux
Now let's say I wanted to double the size of my linux swap partition -- I'd have to remove some allocated blocks from /dev/hda4 .... Since it's in contiguous segments how would I go about doing this without losing data? is there like a partition magic for linux? (lol) :)
Thanks.
