Automated partitionin
Hi,
I am building an embedded system which has a requirement for dynamic change in partition sizes. Also one partition would be ext3 and other would be FAT32. Also whenever I repartition, my data should be recoverable.My question is following -
1. How safe is it to have a system where partition sizes are changed dynamically? I am asking this coz most of the partition tools warn about data loss when using the tool.
2. Is it possible to shrink the partition so that the new partition starts elsewhere, and still recover data. Please note the new shrinked partition will overlap the old partition. I have already tried to shrink partitions where the start of the partition is not changed and I am able to recover data.
Thanks in advance,
Rasool
