Hi,

I installed with the SGI RHL Linux 7.1 installer.  Here's what p in
fdisk says.

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 5605 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1         4     32098+  83  Linux
/dev/hda2             5      4466  35841015    f  Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5             5      4466  35840983+  83  Linux

cfdisk shows 9360.60 MB free, after hda5.

What I wanted to know is, since this hda5 is a logical partition, can
I still resize it.  AFAIK the SGI RHL 7.1 installer didn't install LVM
so what I'm planning to do is delete hda5 w/ fdisk and then create a
new one taking up the rest of the disk.  Reboot, and run xfs_growfs /.
Does this sound good?  Thanks for any help and please CC.

Sincerely,
jsj
