I don't know if it makes you feel more comfortable, but the changing of the upper partition boundary is really not very different to doing an lvextend and resizing the filesystem.
What I'd be tempted to do is get a new drive, partition it as required and then copy over the contents. Disks have gotten a lot bigger and cheaper in 7 years. Perhaps change to SSD as well. You might also use the opportunity to switch to UEFI, if you haven't already done that. That gets rid of all that extended partition nonsense. You can then put the old drive in an external case and use it for backups, etc.. I have a couple here that I've done that with. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
