Topic: [SOLVED] Move a reiser partition
Hi,
I have the following disk layout on my laptop:
Platte /dev/hda: 40.0 GByte, 40007761920 Byte
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders
Einheiten = Zylinder von 16065

Hi,
I have the following disk layout on my laptop:

Here is what you need : http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/tips/gfs.htm
Of course you will have to adapt this to your own situation and fs.
Larry,
thanks. I've seen that page before. I know that I need to move the reiser partition (hda3) in order to get the free space adjacent to the fat32 partition (hda2) so that I can make the latter bigger.
However, that's precisely the problem: when I click on "Resize/Move" with the reiser partition selected, I'm only shown the option to enlarge the partition, not to actually move it. So that's what puzzles me. (What just occured to me: could it be because the partition has the bootable-flag set? Just guessing.)
Thanks,
Could you post a screen shot of the gparted layout somewhere please ?
IMHO, nothing to do with bootable tog
Larry,
thanks again. I don't know how this happened, but it just occured to me that I had downloaded an older version of gparted. With the most recent one, my moving plus resizing of the reiser and fat32 partitions worked just fine. Sorry!
Thanks, and best regards,
No problem
Happy it worked.
