WHAT worked for you? :-) Uh sorry, must've been asleep when I wrote that, it was about changing the size of a partition after the filesystem was added. Somehow I managed this last week when I split a 60MB partition into two with the first half of it glued on the end of my /usr and the last half as swap. (The swap bit wasn't a problem obviously). Not sure about how I managed this, but df seems to have the correct idea and nothing complains either when getting geometries/fsck/mounting. I Must've been very lucky, well, it wasn't an important computer and it seemed like a fun thing to try and do =) -- Steve Roome Technical Systems Manager, Vision Interactive Ltd.
