Maybe it was user error on my part. I just wanted to point out that I did what he was trying and had problems. But, in looking in the doco on PM 8.0, I don't see where it says it will move any files around for you, but maybe it's in there somewhere. My impression is it only works at high level and doesn't really get into moving files, but I didn't spend a lot of time reading through it (and probably should have!)
I highly recommend reading documentation, Greg! ;-) See chapter 3, pg. 32 in PM8.pdf, "Notes on Resizing Partitions" "When you resize a partition, data is consolidated, not compressed..."
But back to the topic at hand:
Sunny,
I'd recommend trying out the procedure described earlier by Michael James. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have mentioned PM on this list. Doing so could be considered poor form or bad taste or something along those lines... even if I did pay money for it. Not everybody owns a copy and it doesn't run under Linux, so it's OT... Sorry!
Didn't version 5 have a Linux based module?
Yes it did. I still have it floating around here someplace from my ? days. Only ext2 though. It will barf on anything else. It's still good to move all of the doze stuff around and create empty space or ext2, then use the YAST partitioner to finish up. Bob S. Bob S.
