RE: Partition Manager

[Panel V. <vp...@ax...>]

I don't think you can do this using this module.

Resizing a partition like /var using the command line is possible :
(I assume you only have the /var directory under your partition and =
let's call it hda7)
1) Make a backup of /var (optional but recommended)
2) Unmount the directory
3) Run "fdisk"
4) Note the size of this partition and delete hda7 (trust me)
5) Create the hda7 partition and specify the new (bigger) size (don't =
reboot yet)
6) Run "resize2fs /dev/hda7" (you may have to run "ext2fs /dev/hda7" =
first : resize2fs will tell you)
7) Run "reboot" (to clean things up : maybe you can avoid this)
8) The END : you have a brand new bigger partition
