hi.... i just installed lvm and reiserfs ( running debian 2.2 mostly stable with a 2.4.1 kernel ) and pushed some dirs on the new partitions ( usr var tmp )....
all is fine so far... now my "ex"-root partition has still a size of 1G, but i think 500M had to fit my needs... now i shrinked the partition to 500M with ext2resize and it worked... now a df shows me my /dev/hda5 ( that's where my root lies ) is 500M big... but in fdisk it says /dev/hda5 is still 1G... can i know just delete /dev/hda5 and recreate it with 500M size ?? ( in single user mode i suppose )... has anyone tried that before ?? is it safe ?? thx in approach peter
