You're using raid, so you've at least two disk drives. remove one component off all your raid devices (second disk), repartition the disk, re-add the components back - this will copy data over to the second diks. Next repeat the same procedure with the first disk. Or something like that -- probably only single partition (on both disks) needs to be recreated this way. > I think it's possible to turn the first logical partition into a > primary partition by modifying the partition table on the MBR but > I'm not sure I'm up for that. It's possible to move sda5 to sda1, but not easy - because at the start of extended partition there's a (relatively large) space for the "logical partitions", you can't just "relabel" your partitions, you have to actually move data. /mjt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
