I need to find some partitioning software so that I can make a 20GB partition on my Hard Disk. I have tried gparted but that won't let me resize the partition because it doesn't support editing local partitions. I have also tried qtparted which didn't even recoginse my file system!
Can anyone suggest a program for me? Using Fedora 10.
Right using the CD i got the same error as when I was using gparted locally. Which said that gparted does not currently support editing local filesystems. I was also wrong about the filesystem I'm using. It is lvm2... the default with Fedora 10.
Back in the day i remember this process being a hell of a lot easier with Vista! :-)
AFAIK, LVM is not a filesystem, It's a virtualization layer for hard disk storage. Gparted, parted, fdisk or other tools for physical partitioning can't handle LVM, you must use the graphical system-config-lvm tool or the command-line LVM programs.
