Hi,

say you got a 40G hard disk, and boot partition is only 6G after installation, can it be resized? thanks,

Hi,

Yes, if you use gparted from a live-cd, or I have a gparted live-cd which I use for those occasions http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php/livecd.php

that's cool, i have noticed a few times the 6G boot not enough, say that box use only to browse some site and get some mail, home partition will not grow fast, but boot partition run out pretty soon.

got the livecd with gparted, thanks. sda1(ext4) 6g, sda2(swap) 512m, sda3(ext4) 30g,
how to resize it? i can reduce the sda3, but i can expand the sda1

Hi,
You have to create some empty space next to sda1, so first reduce the size of sda3 with the empty space on the left, then move swap to the right so the empty space is next to sda1 and then you can enlarge sda1. At least, it should work that way. I think I normally have about 10 GB for my root partition.

Oh, and the partitions mustn't be mounted, hence the use of a live-cd
