cfdisk will do it !! Thanks so much ! All the remaining 167GB of free space.
I had never heard of cfdisk and was afraid of what I would do so I studied the man page over and over and then tried it. It will work. (Wonder why Yast partitioner won't?) What it will do is create sda10 a logical partition of 167GB of all remaining free space which I am assuming will push the extended partion out to the end of the disk. I didn't do it because I am afraid to do it on my running system ( a concern?) and I didn't want a partition of that huge size, and I don't see (yet) a way to create several smaller partitions. Can that be done in cfdisk?
The 'cfdisk' is dependable program and easy to use, but that's not all, there is 'sfdisk' too :-) Looks like 'fdisk', but it is better, than 'parted'.
I suppose I could go to the yast partitioner and resize it. but that may make the extended partition shrink. I dunno yet. But I am very happy that I have that space back for when I go to install 10.3.
Have you tried to add partition using YaST?
Thanks again guys and all ideas welcome on dividing up that 167GB before I commit.
