 |
|
Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to resize partition on an existing system? Because right now, I just compile a new kernel and I saw that my boot partition is full (hmmm... think I was lazy, I did a 36 mb partition... too small for 2 kernel) so I would like to resize my boot partition and maybe change my home size to give some to usr folder, but all of that without any data loss?
Thanks |

| My boot partition is 100MB, which is enough for like 80-90 kernels. Your kernels should be being built in /usr. You should check out what's using up your boot partition. Kernels are usually a meg or two on my system. |

well my kernel are buit in /usr too but my boot partiting habe 99% used space..
| Code: | Argonize ~ # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 9.4G 822M 8.6G 9% /
udev 251M 2.6M 248M 2% /dev
/dev/hda5 47G 1.6G 46G 4% /home
/dev/hda6 1.9G 520M 1.4G 28% /var
/dev/hda7 57G 39G 18G 69% /usr
none 251M 0 251M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda1 37M 37M 592K 99% /boot

I'll be honest, I don't see what's taking my space:
| Code: | Argonize boot # ls -lah
total 3.8M

| I'd unmount /boot and fsck it. If that doesn't show anything... perhaps the blocksize is something rediculous. |
