Re: [PLUG] Full Partion

[Marc Soda <marc@aspre.net>]

You can use GNU parted to resize the partitions, even ext3.  However, 
it will be difficult as I see that /usr is a logical partition, you 
would need to do a lot of resizing/repartitiioning and have the space.

You could also look into software RAID, I have had great success with 
this, but I have never tried it on a logical partition, I don't know if 
that matters.

Also, look at LVM (Logical Volume Manager), I have never used it, but 
it might help.  Both LVM and RAID must be compilied into the kernel.
