Using the GParted distro to resize partitions
This is to anyone who's used the Gparted distro. I want to resize all the partitions on my sda drive and I was wondering if what I had in mind will work.
Here is the current layout of sda's partition table.
Sda:
Sda1 / size reiserfs 93gb
Sda2 swap 128mb
Sda3 /home reiserfs 139 gb
Sda4 /storage reiserfs 65gb
These aren't the exact sizes but you get the idea.
What I want to do is this. Shrink / down to around 30gig totally delete /storage and give all the freed up space to /home. So that the drive will look like this.
Sda:
sda1 /30gb
sda2 /swap
sda3 /home 267
Can I do that through a series of resizing steps or will I have to resize / and then nuke /home and /storage and repartition and format the freed space?

Gparted or Parted Magic is the tool. Use the latest from their web site as earlier versions can't move partitions.
