I haven't tried it with Linux partitions, but I believe that
Partition Magic supports resizing for them.  I know they are
identified properly under PQMagic.

Subject: [PLUG] need to resize partition

i ran out of space on / (only 240M partitioned) - but the /opt dir
has 90M,
so I'd like to move it onto it's own partition. the /var slice has
lots of
room (dedicated 1G, only using 100M).

how can I unmount /var, split it, and remount /var and mount /opt on
the
other slice?

I know linux has a partion splitting util and RH7.2 has a graphical
partioning tool, but can these be undestructive? will it work with
ext3? how
can I umnount /var, says it's busy - i guess with httpd, and lpd,
anything
else? 

thanks
