parted and moving/shrinking partitions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



	I have three partitions on my drive I installed redhat 7.1 on. 
/dev/hdb1, /boot, about 20 megs
/dev/hdb2, a swap partition I didn't want to install, but the system
wouldn't let me go without it.
/dev/hdb3, my root partition.
What do I do with parted to make /dev/hdb3 move to where /dev/hdb2 is,
deleting /dev/hdb2 in the process? I might just turn my system in to lvm by
splitting the root partition in half with the speakup enabled parted disks
to copy one to another and make a volume group out of it, so if I have to
add space in the future, it's easy, got a 30 gig drive with win98 on it, if
I run out in linux, may be able to run parted on their too, not sure their
though.
