Does anyone know what's going on below?
I started out with this status:
Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-19092.937 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags
1 0.031 6000.842 primary ext2 boot
2 6000.842 19092.875 extended
5 6000.873 6259.702 logical linux-swap
6 6259.733 19092.875 logical ext2
I resized minor #1 smaller in preparation to rearrange things around,
resulting in the following configuration:
(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-19092.937 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags
1 0.031 196.105 primary ext2 boot
2 6000.842 19092.875 extended
5 6000.873 6259.702 logical linux-swap
6 6259.733 19092.875 logical ext2
But it won't let me use the extra space:
(parted) mkpart logical linux-swap 200 584
Error: The new partition overlaps with another partition.
(parted) resize 5 200 584
Warning: You requested to resize the partition to 200.000-584.000Mb. The
closest Parted can manage is 6000.873-6008.686Mb.
According to "print", there should be nothing between 2000 and 6000, yet
Parted claims that that space is still being used. What am I doing wrong?
