I am right in assuming that the rescue CD, is the FC2 #1 disk and use "linux
rescue" from the prompt.
So... I thought I would try the above method for starters, however after
moving /dev/sda3 with no trouble, when I try to resize /dev/sda2 I get this
Error: "Filesystem has incompatible feature enabled"
I have run out of time tonight, but hope this can be resolved..
Cheers,
