Hi,

is it possible to change the size of the root partition, when server is installed?
I've done a mistake when I formated the disk and noticed it just after installation.
I'll very thankful if someone can help me with that.

Regards,

DominikJ

Have a look at GNU parted.

Code:
* sys-apps/parted
     Available versions:  1.6.23 1.6.25 ~1.7.1-r1
     Installed:           none
     Homepage:            http://www.gnu.org/software/parted
     Description:         Create, destroy, resize, check, copy partitions and file systems


I used it twice and it worked very well :)

It's not possible to resize the root partition while it is mounted.
Unmounting doesn't work cuz of the system is running.
I tried to run qtparted from a knoppix cd but there i get a error, in german: 'Gleitkomma ausnahme'
and parted can't resize ext3 partition.
Is there any other methode?
