You ought to have it installed; my Debian system tells me it's part of e2fsprogs v1.25. The man page says to use it and then follow up with a careful application of fdisk. You might also try parted as it seems to be more safe. (It will adjust the filesystem size and partition size for you all at one go so you don't have to muck about with dangerous fdisk operations.) If it were me, I wouldn't worry about it being ext2/ext3. ext3 is basically ext2 with a journal. If you're still nervous, you can convert to ext2 with the command "tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/$device" and perform whatever actions you want. Then to convert back to ext3, run "tune2fs -j /dev/$device". See the man page for more details on that. -- Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ Developer/SysAdmin for hire!
