hi,
i got two operating systems on my computer, Fedora Core 4 and Win2k
now i want to resize one of the exsisting partition to install ubuntu to take a look at a debian-based system
i have no free space left on my harddrives so i really have to resize one partition.
Code:
[root@supersucker ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hdc: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 1 20 160618+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdc2 1318 3894 20699752+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdc3 * 21 1317 10418152+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdc4 3895 9729 46869637+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hdc5 3895 4156 2104483+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hdc6 4157 9729 44765091 83 Linux
Partition table entries are not in disk order
Disk /dev/hdd: 122.9 GB, 122942324736 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14946 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdd1 * 2 14946 120045712+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hdd5 2 14946 120045681 83 Linux
there are two candidate partitions for resizing /dev/hdc6 and /dev/hdd5, so i tried to downsize one of them with qtparted.
first of all i unmounted them:
Code:
[root@supersucker ~]# umount /dev/hdc6
[root@supersucker ~]# umount /dev/hdd5
but if i now start qtparted and try to select "resize" in the context menu, this wont work because the menu-entry "resize" is dimmed out (i hope this is the right word), and i dont know why..
if i try to access partition hdc6 with qtparted (that means when i click on the harddrive and qtparted loads the harddisk information) i see the following error message in the konsole in which i started qtparted:
Code:
Error: Filesystem has incompatible feature enabled
No Implementation: Support for opening ntfs file systems is not implemented yet.
Error: Filesystem was not cleanly unmounted! You should e2fsck. Modifying an unclean filesystem could cause severe corruption.
Error: Filesystem has incompatible feature enabled
same with hdd5:
Code:
Warning: Filesystem has errors! You should run e2fsck.
Error: Filesystem has incompatible feature enabled
hmm, ok, but if i do a:
Code:
[root@supersucker ~]# e2fsck /dev/hdc6
the output is:
Code:
e2fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005) lin_data_1: clean, 2611/11195712 files, 5396713/11191272 blocks
???
and if i do a:
Code:
[root@supersucker ~]# e2fsck /dev/hdd5
i get:
Code:
e2fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005) Filesystem did not have a UUID;
generating one.

lin_data_2 contains a file system with errors, check forced.

You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
and i keep getting the same errror messages in the konsole when i try to access one of the harddisks with qtparted...
what can i do to solve this problem? i.e. downsizing one of those partitions..
are there other (better) tools than qtparted? what would you do?
any help is appreciated....
