Hi,
I have an existing Linux server (old, slackware 10.1-ish) with two
partitions, fully bootable and both the ext3 partitions mount fine.
fdisk recognizes the partition table. The only warning I ever get
(from fdisk) is that the cylinder >1024, but this has not presented
any problems for me. The HDD has only ever been partitioned once with
fdisk. I'm using lilo, placed at the MBR I believe.
Anyway, I want to shift/resize the partitions a bit. So I downloaded,
compiled, and installed parted 1.8.8. But when I run it, I
immediately get an error of "unrecognized disk label".
How can I resolve this problem non-destructively? Is there a way to
add a disk label at this point?
Otherwise, I'm thinking mklabel, then rescue the partitions. But
there seems to be considerable risks in this maneuver, and I'm not
sure if it even works.
