Tárgy: Re: [Hampshire] Partition resizing
Dependant on what you're trying to do, you may find it easier to copy the data
to a new partition, then re-build the MBR if you need GRUB etc. I don't know
if this will work on a FAT16/32/NTFS partition, but for all things Linux
(including the linux root file system) "cp -av <whatever> <wherever>" works
wonders. I have used it to move cluster node root FSes from loop-mounted
images to NFS shares.

You can also use tar to do the same job, which is useful if you need to go via
another file-system.

Hope this helps,

Tim B.
