Resize partition


Hi All!

Is it possible to resize an existing linux partition without losing the data? If so, how?

Thanks

I think you could use something like fips, or if you have windows installed to Partion Magic would be good...but you should always backup your data before doing anything critical like that

Or you could use a program made for Linux:
Parted over at www.freshmeat.net and it also comes on most new distro's CDROM's

Cool
