I was trying to upgrade from FC2 to FC3 and was met with
I need 142 mb of free space to upgrade on /usr :(
I have moved all the data out of an adjacent partition
which is /dev/hda6. (/shared)
The question is can I resize the existing /usr (/dev/hda5)
to use all of /shared (/dev/hda6).
I tried using partitionmagic 8.0 but it appears it
didnt like ext3 filesystems.
Will parted handle this task or am I just kidding myself
and since this is the /usr partition the only option
I have is to rebuild the system. If I use parted will I
corrupt the partition table and be hosed.
This machine has been upgrade from RH9 -> FC1 -> FC2
