Courtsey of Anaconda, I have 4 contiguous unused partitions. I would
like to merge them into a single partition.
AFAIK this is the procedure I should follow.
backup
Boot to single-user
use parted
rm partitions 2 3 4
resizepart partition 1
reboot
Do I have it right?
This is indeed a very interesting question. IMO fedora has kind of
dumped the CLI partition resizing idea. To my knowledge anyway. I rarely
use a GUI myself, or gparted would be fine. I would simply use fdisk to
do this myself. Parted is kind of scary to me. As far as resizing
partitions which was my issue fdisk could manually set the "CHS" to use
an old idea, but making direct changes to filesystem data I don't
believe it does that. Fdisk can delete the partition data in the
partition table and recreate a new partition without you having to do
manual calculating. So the result is a new single partition. In my case
there seems to always be a little empty space at the end of an ext2 or 3
(not sure about ext4). I just don't use it. But then again, parted might
using resize, simply expand to all used partition space.
