Long ago, in a galaxy far away, I partitioned my 120GB hard drive.
I think that I did not allocate all the space to used partitions.
i mounted /boot at /dev/hda1
/ at /dev/hda2
/home at /dev/hda3
swap at /dev/hda5.
me:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 19G 16G 1.7G 91% /
tmpfs 507M 4.0K 507M 1% /dev/shm
/dev/hda1 89M 24M 60M 29% /boot
/dev/hda3 19G 17G 557M 97% /home
tmpfs 507M 148K 507M 1% /dev
Not that I see only 39GB used here.
Now I am running out of room and I want to use the rest of the space on the
disk.

Why does fdisk find no free space?
When I run qtparted it says
number partition type status size used space start end label
04 /dev/hda4 extended 1.86GB
05 /dev/hda5 linux-swap 1.86GB
06 /dev/hda-1 free 72.57GB N/A 39.21GB 111.79
It seems I left out alot of space from the logical (extended) partition - how
do I reclaim it? Also can someone tell me where I can read more about this
issue?
