I did the same thing a couple months ago. Only difference for me was
that I was removing two partitions. This should apply for you and this
assumes you're using LVM. Not sure if there's an easier way to do it or
not, but this was pretty easy. I also had to do some searching to figure
out exactly how to do a couple of these things. I would back your stuff
up somehow to be safe!
Here's basically what was given to me in March from this list:
"You are using LVM; there is no need to do anything drastic.
Change the partition types of hda1 to "Linux LVM".
Then do:
# pvcreate /dev/hda1
You will now be able to use "vgextend" to add /dev/hda1 to
your existing logical volume (VolGroup00 by default):
# vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/hda1
"vgdisplay" should then show that you have additional 60G of free space
in your volume group, which you can add to your existing logical
volume(s), using "lvextend". You can then use resize2fs or ext2online to
change the sizes of the ext2/3 filesystems on the logical volume(s) you
have made bigger, to make use of the extra space."
HTH,
