Listmates,

        I am running out of space on /. During my last software update, yast 
gave me
the error "Running out of Space" Continue? Yes/No. So as a temporary fix, I
moved /var/cache/zypp/packages to /home/packages and softlinked it. This is a
good temporary fix, but what I need to do is shrink /home and grow / by 10G. I
have 374G of free space on /home, so space isn't a problem.

        My plan is just to boot from the gparted iso and shrink /home by 10 and 
then
grow / by 10.

        I have a couple of questions. First, how dicey is it to shrink home? 
Second, is
there a better tool to use besides gparted? My real concern is corrupting /home
during the shrink. I have the 'fdisk -l' information in case the shrink goes
bad, but is there any additional precautionary steps I should take? (I have 
backups)
