 |
|
Hi all,
Is it possible to create a new partition on an existing system? I'd like to keep all mp3's on one partition...
If it is doable, can someone point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks...

"existing system" means without unallocated space, right ?
If you don't have LVM, it's really hard to resize partitions. And the procedure depends on the filesystem you use. For reiserfs for example, you should read the resize_reiserfs manpage.
Basicly, the procedure you must follow is shrinking your filesystem with the appropriate tool, and then use fdisk to resize the partition.
One more thing : backup everything before you try anything. |

Sounds way to scary actually 
Thanks though, I'll just settle for putting them somewhere out of the way...
