Parted: How To Resize a Partition
Usually you'd use GParted Live CD to make life easier, but just incase you ever need to use the command line for partitioning..
If /dev/hda1 is the device on which to resize the partition:
parted /dev/hda1
View the current partition table to determine the minor number of the partition to resize as well as the start and end points for the partition:
print
To resize the partition, use the resize command followed by the minor number for the partition, the starting place in megabytes, and the end place in megabytes. For example:
resize 3 1024 2048
NOTE: Some systems will display the information as :
resize 10 32kB 20GB
After resizing the partition, use the print command to confirm that the partition has been resized correctly, is the correct partition type, and is the correct file system type.
After rebooting the system into normal mode, use the command df to make sure the partition was mounted and is recognized with the new size.
NOTE: NTFS gives an error message
No Implementation: Support for opening ntfs file systems is not implemented yet.
Sorry, I haven't discovered a solution to this yet.
