Alternatively, if the extended partition contains no logical partitions other than swap, you could - disable swap, - remove the swap partition, - remove the extended partition, - recreate it at the start of the free space, - recreate swap, - create an additional logical 5G partition. And then you could either use the logical partition for a filesystem to be mounted somewhere below your /home where you need more space. [Or you use LVM (with two physical volumes building a volume group from which to allocate space for a new /home as a logical volume).] -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
