Topic: Enlarging a linux ext3 partition

Hello,

I am trying to use gparted (as root and in gnome) to resize my main linux ext3 partition, however I am unable to unmount the partition. I assume this is because I am trying to unmount something that I'm running, but it does say on the site somewhere that it makes no difference whether you run from LiveCD or not, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

I can provide screenshots as/if required.

Thanks.

Yeah, you've got me : i have written the docs, and .... when i said it was the same, i meant that the soft has the same fonctions!  But it cant umount the system on which you are login :-(

So you need the livecd...

Okay, thanks. And I get what you mean now, but you might want to edit the docs to save answering questions.
