[Cialug] Parted Feature

[Todd Walton]

Not a problem, I say!  I'll just use parted!  So I fire up gparted
from a Live CD and tell it to nuke /dev/sda1 and make /dev/sda2, which
is /home, stretch to include sda1.  That'll give me a 60 GB /home.

It's going *really* really slowly.  It's been running for 7 hours now
and it says it has 10 hours to go.  Man, I don't know what that's all
about.  But I'm a patient sort of person.  So I looked up parted
online and notice that it says that one cannot move an ext3's start.
Which is... exactly what I'm doing.

OMG FEAR

But it seems to be happy doing it, so maybe there won't be a problem.
(No, I didn't backup first.)  Guess I'll just go to work and hope for
the best when I get home.
