Augh!!!! This one is *really* bad Several months ago, when i repartitioned, I fooollishly left half the disk after the last partition.
Today, I printed out the partition table from fdisk, deleted the extended partion, placed a new one, and reentered the locations of the logical partitions. I then made a partition the same size as /home at the very end of the disk, and used dd to copy the old partition to the new. After 40 minutes, it was done, and now I get a denial that the old one is even an e2fs in the first place. of course, the easily replacable (and to be replaced) root partition survived this treatment . . . findsuper reveals,
