    Changing partitioning size

    Hi,
    Below is my 'df' command output. I would like to move 25GB to "/home" from "/". How can I do that? Will Gparted let me do that?


    Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/mapper/vg_sur-lv_root
    45122624 4039848 40624524 10% /
    tmpfs 1673032 1096 1671936 1% /dev/shm
    /dev/sda5 495844 64503 405741 14% /boot
    /dev/mapper/vg_sur-lv_home
    43058384 1272260 39598860 4% /home

    Yes, gparted will do that. First, decrease the size of the partition you want to make smaller, then resize the other to fill the unallocated space left.

    Are you using LVM? Post the output of fdisk -l command here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
