Online resizing NTFS & ext3

[Axel Thimm]

Hi,

I have a running F9 installation where I want to move some free space
from the NTFS partition to Fedora's.

Usually I don't even have an NTFS partition to get into this problem,
and if so I wipe the Linux partitions away, resize the NTFS partition
and reinstall Fedora/RHEL. Now with F9 doing a resize upon
installation this is even easier.

But wiping the Fedora partition isn't an option either in this
case. So how does one proceed? Which tools are the best for

o shrinking the inactive NTFS partition (fs & partition!) and
o enlarging the online ext3 fs & partition?

Or is this not feasable with ext3 online? Maybe only from a rescue
disk?

I googled, but all I found were quite old references not including the
shinny new F9 support for stuff like this. And the docu for anaconda
is only for during installs, but I need to keep the old Linux
partition (or maybe anaconda would even allow that?)

Possibly also a good topic for the Fedora FAQ.
