Hi, I have a laptop with openSuSE 10.2 and Windows XP as dual-boot with GRUB as bootloader. SuSE currently has one Reiser partition plus a swap partition, and there are two Windows partitions, one hidden and one, well, not. It turns out that I need more space for XP, so I first shrank the Reiser partition to make space available, but foolishly overlooked that the space would become available in a section where I currently can't make use of it. This is the current partition table: Platte /dev/hda: 40.0 GByte, 40007761920 Byte 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders Einheiten = Zylinder von 16065 × 512 = 8225280 Bytes Gerät boot. Anfang Ende Blöcke Id System /dev/hda1 1 230 1847443+ 1b Verst. W95 FAT32 /dev/hda2 231 1741 12137107+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda3 * 1743 3701 15735667+ 83 Linux /dev/hda4 4751 4864 915705 82 Linux Swap / Solaris So there's about 8 GB free space between hda3 and hda4. I'd like to format about 1,5 of that with a native Linux format and make it the home of /home. The remaining 6,5 should be merged with the larger FAT32 partition (currently hda2). All of this should be, so to speak, minimally invasive, as I don't have the time to reinstall either Windows or Linux. I don't quite know how to go about doing this. Two things bug me. First, I can't create another primary partition because there already are four on the disk, and it's not possible to create a logical partition because it would need an extended partition, which cannot be created because the limit of four extended/primary partitions has been reached. Second, what changes do I have to make for GRUB to still find the bootable partitions afterwards? And where would I make them? Finally, how, considering the above conditions, do I go about actually *moving* the Reiser partition up so that the free space becomes adjacent to the FAT32 partition, which seems the most economical way to go about things? Thanks a lot in advance, best regards, Birgit Kellner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
