I installed a new hard disk and freed up area on the disk used for linux. I used qtparted to delete a now unneeded vfat32 partition and wanted to enlarge a remaiing fat32 partition used for storing audio data and then add in the remaining freed up space several ext3 partitions to move stuff off my overcrowded primary ext3 partition.
Unfortunately, neither PartionMagic (usually quite cooperative) nor qtparted nor any of the console utilities can read these partions! The system boots up to the main partition and the audio is readable. But I cannot change the partitions. The only utilitiy that reads this disk partitioning without complaint is webmin! I could presumably try to use that if I could figure out how and trusted it enough. The partition I want to enlarge is mounted and attempts to umount complain it is busy (I could comment it in /etc/fstab). Here is the testdisk output which cites the error, described differently by each program but this is it: Disk /dev/hdb - CHS 65536 16 63 - 32256 MB 1 * Linux 65519 1 1 77599 10 63 12177270 2 E extended LBA 15 15 1 4143 15 63 4161087 3 P Linux Swap 77599 11 1 79639 10 63 2056320 check_FAT: Incorrect number of sides 5 L FAT32 16 0 1 31986 15 63 32226768 [AUDIO] Space conflict between the following two partitions 2 E extended LBA 15 15 1 4143 15 63 4161087 5 L FAT32 Thanks--Any help greatly appreciated! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
