That's a multi-step process, and it depends in large part on your current partitioning configuration and whether you're using LVM. If you need to resize an LVM PV, you're best bet is probably to temporarily add another PV (using an external drive, temporary partition, or a loopbacked file in another filesystem), migrate off the existing PV to the temp one, remove the first PV and recreate it in the new size, re-add it to the VG, migrate off the temp PV, and remove the temp PV. Obviously, a lot more information about your system is needed before we can recommend specific steps, so posting the output of 'df -h', 'mount', 'vgs', 'pvs', 'lvs', and 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' (assuming one hard drive) would be a great start. If you're not using LVM (or after you've taken care of the LVM issues), it's probably easiest to run Gparted from a live disc and use its GUI to do what you want. -Chris -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
