Hello
I have not used gpart so far and before doing this I would like
to be sure that what I want to do is possible.
I have on my Laptop the following hard disc configuration
(fdisk -l):
Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 629 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 39 289865 a0 IBM Thinkpad
hibernation
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(38, 83, 4) should be (38, 239, 63)
/dev/hda2 * 39 322 2144394 b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda3 323 629 2320920 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 323 324 15088+ 83 Linux (/boot)
/dev/hda6 325 541 1640488+ 83 Linux (/)
/dev/hda7 542 620 597208+ 83 Linux (/home)
/dev/hda8 621 629 68008+ 82 Linux swap
So the first partition is a built in partition provided by HP
Now I would like to shrink the Windows partition around 300 Mega.
Suppose I get something like this (did not change all the relevant numbers.)
would look
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 39 289865 a0 IBM Thinkpad
hibernation
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(38, 83, 4) should be (38, 239, 63)
/dev/hda2 * 39 285 1844394 b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda3 286 322 200000
/dev/hda4 323 629 2320920 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 323 324 15088+ 83 Linux (/boot)
/dev/hda6 325 541 1640488+ 83 Linux (/)
/dev/hda7 542 620 597208+ 83 Linux (/home)
/dev/hda8 621 629 68008+ 82 Linux swap
Now I want to add this free space between cylinder 301 and 322
to two partitions:
1. 100 Mega to the swap partion which is between cylinder 621 and 629
2. 200 Mega to the root partion, which is between cylinder 325 and 541
If this is not possible I would then like to add all the 300 Mega to
the root partition 325 and 541.
Is any of this goal possible.
Thank you very much in advance
