Hello everybody.
Is there a partition editor on opensuse like gparted (installed on the system, no live cd)?
Thank you.
Yes, go to YaST - system - partitioner. Before you fiddle, make sure you know what you are doing & backup before fiddling.
Andy
thank you!
Also if you are more comfortable with gparted - it is available to install from Packman repository.
Cheers.
Hello; sorry, this is not an answer, but better a new question on this matter:
I have installed my opensuse11 onto an 80GB hdd, shared in dual/boot with Vista.
The problem is that I would like to resize my linux partitions, in order to give a better dimensioning and to utilize some unallocated space, as reported by GParted.
The fact is that I am a bit afraid about the risk to loss data, since the unallocated spaces are not contiguous between the partitions.
Also I am thinking to reduce the swap space from 2GB, to 1GB, since I never seen swap utilization until today.
This is the output of fdisk -u -l
linux-turion64:/home/marco # fdisk -u -l
Disco /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 byte

What do you suggest I could do, in order to resize safely my hdd and what do you means for “backup your data” ? That’s refers to root filesystem as well, or just to home dir?
Thank you for your attention.
