This workstation is running Fedora 11. It has 4 HDDs raided into 4 partitions:
/ (31 gig)
/boot (134 meg)
/data (140 gig)
/FC12 (31 gig)
The previous employee that used my current workstation set it up this way. He apparently created the FC12
partition to test a Fedora 12 installation. I don't need Fedora 12 so I wiped that partition and now I'm wondering if its possible for me to combine the /FC12
partition into the /
partition, so that the /
partition will now be 62 gigs.
Is this possible? If so, how? Can it be done w/o reinstalling the OS?
I've toyed with Fedora's LVM admin interface but it seems very basic and there doesn't seem to be anything about combining partitions. I've also messed with other HDD utilities that are in Fedora (Palimpsest Disk Utlity) but all it seems to be able to do is mount and umount partitions.
btw doing an fdisk -l would give us a much better picture of actual partition order. and df -h for what they are used for and how much is used. – xenoterracide – 2010-04-27T19:55:39.923
1There are suggestions below on how to do this, but the easiest solution is just to mount the 31GB partition somewhere you need the space, perhaps as a subfolder of /data, or on /home – Dentrasi – 2010-04-27T20:51:20.587
