RE: Resize boot partition on RHEL AS 3.0

[Rakesh Nagarajan]

Hello,
    I am trying to resize the boot partition as I have run out of space 
on it.  The next contiguous partition was the swap and so I removed this 
partition and made a new swap on another drive.  Now I had the following:

1   0.031         101.975       primary    ext3   boot
2   2094.412   76293.261   primary    ext3

I changed the ext3 for Minor 1 to ext2 using tune2fs using my Disc 1 and 
booting into rescue mode.  When I print in parted, it sees Minor 1 as 
ext2 now.  I tried resizing Minor 1 by:

resize 1 0.031 2094.411

and it gives the error:  No implementation!  This ext2 filesystem ha a 
rather strange layout!  Parted can't resize this (yet).


How can I resize this boot partition?  I have tried a boot disk from the 
parted website also with no success.  I can create another partition in 
that empty space bu I cannot resize to fill that empty space.

Thanks in advance for any help and advice I can get on this issue.
