Can I resize partition?

My sarge is installed at /dev/sda2. There is some disk space just behind /dev/sda2. Can I let sarge use that space by resizing /dev/sda2? Saving data and reformatting /dev/sda2 and reinstalling sarge takes too much time. My sarge uses ext2 file system. __

Sorry, my memory fails. After entering fdisk, I find free disk space is just before /dev/sda2, not after it. It seems that I can't resize it. Thanks anyway! --- Raj Kiran Grandhi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Serena Cantor wrote: > > My sarge is installed at /dev/sda2. There is some disk space
