Hi,

On my RaQ4 I have two "virtual" disks, or partitions, one for "Operating System and Programs" and one for my virtual sites. Default Cobalt. I want to resize the partition for the Operating System and Programs because it's too small, I get an error that it's almost full.

How do I do this?
:confused:

You don't. It isn't possible to resize partitions without going through all sorts of ****.

If I were you I'd just more some files across to the other partition.

move some contents (preferable things you installed, mySQL databases, etc.) from your system space into /home/something and make a symlink from the original position on system to the new on /home partition.

Another option is to grab a screwdriver, take the harddisk out of your unit and connect it to a PC. Then find a copy of PartitionMagic 6 and change the partitions.

I'd say that's the easiest method.
