reiko Linux Newbie Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Chennai, India Posts: 105	Resizing Archs partition I have resized Arch's partition from 20gb to 6gb by issuing the following command Code: tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/(archs partition) e2fsck -v -f /dev/(archs partition) and then i used resize2fs for resizing Code: resize2fs /dev/(archs partition) 6000M Code: tune2fs -j /dev/(archs partition) e2fsck -v -f /dev/(archs partition) now the operation is successful but when i run Code: fdisk -l /dev/hda it still shows the same number of cylinders occupied by the archs partition. Now how to alter the number of cylinders occupied.

Well you might want to look at Partitions and Boot Loaders I say might since I am not certain.. I havnt read it I scanned it. Well, hope that helps. __________________ My webpage: codeinject.org New Users, please read this.. Google first, then ask..
