Hi folks,
I'd like to move the second partition on a disk. I've resized the first partition, reducing its size, and now I'd like to move the second partition so that it's new start position is at the end of the first partition.
Current partition info:
Number Start End Size Type File system 1 32kB 40GB 40GB primary reiserfs 2 60GB 99GB 39GB primary reiserfs
I would like to move the second partition like so:
Number Start End Size Type File system 1 32kB 40GB 40GB primary reiserfs 2 40GB 79GB 39GB primary reiserfs
Current parted 1.6.25.1 will not allow me to move a reiserfs partition. As a last resort I suppose I can backup, delete the 2nd partition, create a new partition then restore from backup but It would be nice to know of another utility that would let me move a reiserfs partition.
I don't know of anything that will move a Reiser partition. Given the current state of things (you have to use cfdisk, with extreme caution, making sure the new partition start point is *exactly* at the old partition start point), I won't even try to resize one.
