Make sure nothing else from /dev/hda is mounted when you run fdisk, so that the kernel will re-read the partition table. Otherwise, you may need to reboot the system after you run fdisk. 3) Use the command "resize2fs /dev/hda3" to expand the filesystem on /dev/hda3 to the full size of the hda3 partition. - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
