Didn't we have a question of this sort about this time last year? Oh, right, that was about /boot rather then ROOT. The we had one again about /usr/lib or something about six months ago. As I said then, I never have these problems any more. Yes, I did in the days before Linux and AIX ... think ... SCO Now I use LVM, well LVM2 actually. And ReiserFS so I can shrink a FS if I need to. Most of my partitions are under 4G so I can put them on an old USB stick if needed when shuffling around. However I've found that its easier to do things with LVM2 than Gparted - and a lot less scary! Once I replaced a dying drive by using LVM2's ability to 'migrate'. And being able to 'snapshot' for live backups is a joy. Yes, I know you didn't install LVM2 to start with. *sigh* Yes I know that having root and boot on a LVM partition is a but of a buqqer, but its worth it! -- I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody -- Bill Cosby -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
