Thanks for the correction, Isaac. Let me try again, assuming the original poster didn't want to change the partition layout, they could: * use dd to clone the whole disk onto a larger disk * use parted to grow the partition * use resize2fs to grow the filesystem ...yes? I've not tried this myself, but it sounds like it should work. If I were to upgrade a disk, I'd probably use the "Hard Disk Upgrade Mini How-To" that Justin mentioned instead, I just wanted to complete the thought exercise. -- Adam Monsen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
