Hi Arno, I did a tar.gz backup before proceeding but in the end all went well. The hairy part (I guess) is deleting both partitions to create a new, larger one without damaging the dm-crypt volume. I resized the dm-crypt volume offline, without mounting the fs, but is it possible to do it on a live, mounted system?
