I have a disk that looks like this: [root@alpha ~]# /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 930.39 GiB, 998999326720 bytes, 1951170560 sectors Disk model: VIRTUAL DISK Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x0385371c Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 2048 102402047 102400000 48.8G 83 Linux /dev/sda2 102402048 1951170559 1848768512 881.6G 83 Linux I want to expand sda2 to the beginning of the disk, without losing the data on sda1 (and obviously on sda2 as well). Can that be done safely? For instance, I'm thinking I can delete both partitions in fdisk and create a single one for the entire disk. Then, don't format the new partition. Would that pick up the existing filesystem? Or, maybe gparted? I can delete sda1, then expand sda2 to the beginning of the disk. Would that work? Luckily, sda1 is fairly small so I can back it up somewhere, then gparted should work, but does anyone have first hand experience with this? _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
