Hi there, |

Is the problem that you've got 4 partitions & this prevents you form |
| 11 |
making a 5th? |
| 12 |
Because using LVM I would simply create a new partition and add it to |
| 13 |
the volume group. |

The contents *should* indeed remain intact if one simply deletes the |
| 16 |
partition & recreates at the same starting point, yet larger. I'm |
| 17 |
sure I've used parted as well as cfdisk for this sort of thing in the |
| 18 |
past, yet hesitate to recommend either as I would fear making a typo |
| 19 |
with an unfamiliar tool, thereby rendering my data mythical. |
