Subject: ext3 partition add or resize
I'm been running RH-7.2 with ext3 FS on a server for about 3 years with a
promise raid mirroring array. It originally had 40GB drives, but now I've
let the promise array rebuild the drives to new hardware so now I have 2
160GB drives with 40 GB used. I want to use the free space as part of the
/home partition. I've tried resizing the /home partition using various
methods using Partition Magic, Ghost, and Acronis True Image. Acronis came
the closest, but corrupted the boot sector and I wasn't clever enough to get
it to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Even creating a separate
partition in the free space would be OK. Anything other than rebuilding the
system from scratch or adding a separate drive array is my goal.
