Hello,
First of all, my apologies for this question. I've never had to do this sort
of re-partitioning before and probably my questions will seem pretty silly,
but I really would appreciate a pointer to the right sources..
Hardware: SMP board, 3Ware ATA Raid, 240 Gig (8x30Gig) HD, running RAID 5, 1
Gig RAM
OS: Redhat 7.1
Kernel: 2.4.2_SGI_XFS_1.0SMP -- kernel is too big to boot from floppy.
Due to performance issues I need to increase RAM to 2 Gig and consequently
increase the swap space to 4 Gig.
Currently I have partitioned the RAID drive as:
/boot 16 Meg -- ext2
/ 20 Gig -- ext2
/swap 2 Gig
/xfs remainder -- xfs
I am not running LVM.
Ideally I would like to "steal" 2 Gig or so from the xfs partition, and add
it to the swap space. XFS partition has about 60 Gig or so of data on it,
so it is pretty empty, but is too big to comfortably back-up.
I have never repartitioned a linux disk.
How do I do this?
Again, my apologies for the newbie question,
Best regards,
Deniz
