Does anyone know a good tool for Linux to resize partitions and such? I also want to know if their is a way to convert partitions from fat32 to ext3?

Otherwise ill just have to do lots of oops manually which will take lots of time and downtime.

Regards,
John.

I don't believe there is any way to convert fat32 to ext3 but to resize patitions depends on the file system on the partitions. For ext2/ext3 there is resize2fs and for reiserfs there is resize_reiserfs. If you have LVMs you might want to check out my resize LVM tip:

Of course there are text and graphical based GUIs for this (parted/qtparted) but I prefer not to use them.

Yea i figured about the converting, i guess it will just take lots of resizing and moving files (with a pile of physics homework im not sure where im gonna find the time right now).

Cheers, ill check that tip out.
