Oh WHEN will openSUSE ship a partitioning tool with their DVD that will allow non-destructive partition resizing? Does anyone have a Bugzilla report I can vote on to request this?
parted can do that, but that of course requires that there is some free disk
space directly behind the partition to be enlarged. Most modern file systems
are capable of resizing.
The YaST2 partitioner is little more than a graphical front-end for parted
(and lvm-tools and evms-tools etc.). But it does not necessarily provide each
and every exotic feature of the underlying tools; sometimes you have to use
the tools directly.
