I recently decided to resize my reiserfs root partition, used |
| 2 |
resize_reiserfs to shrink the filesystem, then used cfdisk to resize |
| 3 |
the device. Everything went according to plan, although it was a |
| 4 |
somewhat unnerving experience because in order to resize using cfdisk |
| 5 |
u have to delete then recreate the partition, which wasn't clearly |
| 6 |
documented anywhere... Anyway, now Ive got a problem because my disk |
| 7 |
at the moment has 3 primary partitions, 1 boot part., 1 swap part, and |
| 8 |
one root part. for gentoo. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
the problem is i cant create a new primary partition which i need to |
| 11 |
do if i want to install windows beside gentoo, which i also need to |
| 12 |
do. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
does anyone know if it would be possible to replace my boot and swap |
| 15 |
partitions with identically sized logical partitions inside a single |
| 16 |
primary partition? has anyone attempted this? it occurs to me that |
| 17 |
that would be the simplest solution... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
anyone have any other ideas? |
