Is qtparted safe?
 

If I use that to make my boot partition about 100megs larger (it is 100 megs now but I have 3 kernels already that take up 40megs.) I upgrade to just about every new kernel out.


I wish I didn't even make a boot partition, but oh well. So, anyway, will qtparted make it more unstable if I made my root partition a bit smaller and made the boot 100-200megs bigger?


Or, is there a way to get rid of the boot partion and move everything from that to the root?

Thanks

AFAIK, there's no way to mess with partitions without corrupting filesystems and losing all your data. :( However, 100mb should be way more than enough for a boot partition. I have several kernels on my boot partition and they take up under 10 megs. My guess is that you're compiling everything into the kernel instead of using modules. :tisk:

To answer your second question, it is possible to boot off a kernel on the root partition. Just make a new dir for it, something like /boot2, and put the kernels there, then configure grub/lilo to boot that. However, you won't get back the disk space from the boot partition.
