Hello,
I have a problem with my disk partitions:
$ df
/dev/hda10 3431260 2562716 694244 79% /
/dev/hda9 101057 19306 76534 21% /boot
/dev/hda3 10649712 2636396 7472328 27% /mnt/hda3
none 127580 0 127580 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda2 1108288 141664 966624 13% /mnt/hda2
/dev/hda5 101089 19306 76564 21% /mnt/hda5
/dev/hda6 3431260 2562716 694244 79% /mnt/hda6
/dev/hda8 404472 13 383577 1% /mnt/hda8
/dev/hda9 101057 19306 76534 21% /mnt/hda9
/dev/hda10 2656420 2356972 164504 94% /mnt/hda10
$ mount
/dev/hda10 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/hda9 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda3 on /mnt/hda3 type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
/dev/hda2 on /mnt/hda2 type vfat (rw)
/dev/hda5 on /mnt/hda5 type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda6 on /mnt/hda6 type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda8 on /mnt/hda8 type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda9 on /mnt/hda9 type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda10 on /mnt/hda10 type ext3 (rw)
as you can see /dev/hda10 mounted on / is about 1G bigger than
/dev/hda10 mounted on /mnt/hda10
My attemp was to move the root and boot partitions to different
partitions (root was getting to small). So I created 2 new partitions
with 3.4G for root and 100M for boot:
$ fdisk -l /dev/hda
Platte /dev/hda: 20.0 GByte, 20003880960 Byte
255 Köpfe, 63 Sektoren/Spuren, 2432 Zylinder
Einheiten = Zylinder von 16065 * 512 = 8225280 Bytes
Gerät boot. Anfang Ende Blöcke Id Dateisystemtyp
/dev/hda1 139 1085 7606777+ f Win95 Erw. (LBA)

/dev/hda10 717 1052 2698888+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda11 1053 1085 265041 82 Linux Swap
I copied (-a) the content of root and boot to the new partions and
modified the grub.conf file:
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,8)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-19.9) newroot
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-19.9 ro LABEL=/ root=/dev/hda6 hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-19.9.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-19.9) old
root (hd0,8)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-19.9 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-19.9.img
I now want to delete hda9-11 but I am confused by the strange partition
names. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
