Hi,
This is where I currently am:
Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags
1 0.031 14880.520 primary FAT boot,lba
2 14880.520 14972.585 primary ext2
3 16127.754 18567.312 primart ext2
4 18567.312 19077.187 extended lba
5 18567.343 19077.187 logical linux-swap
I have used parted to resize my 1 partition (FAT) about 1200 megs
smaller, and to move my 2 partition (ext2, /boot) down. Now what I want
to do is move my 3 partition (ext2, /) down and then resize it larger
(at the end). This is what I get:
(parted) move 3 14927.586 17367.144
Error: Can't move a partition onto itself. Try using resize, perhaps?
I've played around with the numbers a bit and tried different things. I
haven't been able to find any documentation relating to this error
message, and everything I've read indicates that this should work. Am I
missing something? It seems like it will only move it to an empty place
on the disk that is at least as big as the partition I am trying to move
- just judging from the success I had with partition 2. Any help would
be appreciated. Thanks,
Andrew
