"What happened when you tried it?"
Parted does not permit moving an ext2/3 partition if the source and destination partition overlap. So, I thought, copy to a new partition, erase. copy back. Well parted copy doesn't work quite as advertised. It seems to copy and it thinks it has made a ext3 copy but when I come to mount to check, it isn't really any recognisable fs. However dd | od or strings and it looks like what it should be. DUH? OK, do it the long way ... -- The improvement of our way of life is more important than the spreading of it.
