[SuSE Linux] Urgent Help needed
I run into something and wornder if some can give me a rather quick guideline... On my remote server (reached with telnet)I have a SCSI HD that has (well had) 2 patitions, but now I for a reason wanted to change that into one (this is not the drive system is booted on). After moving wanted data to other drive I went in through YaST and deleted the 2 partions and so far all well. But as I wanted the repartition it my telnet client for some reson didnt want to recon my F5 key to make a new partition for the whole drive (it did take F4 to delele yhe old once), so used the other option in YaST (Whole Drive) but it unwantedly creted 3 partitions, where of 1 boot and 1 swap, which wasnt mine intention. So I moved back in to delete as I insted thought of do the partition from commandline instead. However as it deleted it reported an error in the partition table and said I shall look so no part is in use by system... obviously the swap (or boot) partition already been hooked up by system, although "no partion available" was reported in YaST. But as I move into the option of "Set target partitions/filesystem" it there reports a "/dev/sdb2 swap swap" in bold (not accessable). I now don't dare to rebout, or even leave the telnet session as I fear that the system wount get up again properly and I might not get physical access to it before monday to manualy reboot and reconfigure. So is there some way, somewere I can go in and correct this? Waiting online for a guideline from some "net angel" (yes, I know this is stupid to do on a friday night, but I kind of had to).
