I've painted myself into a corner where i need/want to turn a Linux only
box into a dual boot box with Win2k. Right now, the box (which is a
laptop) has just RH9 (XFS) installed, and occupying the entire disk as
follows:
hda1 /boot
hda2 SWAP
hda3 /
What I need to do is resize hda3 so that its about 5 GB smaller, so that i
can create a hda4 to install Win2k on. The problem here is that
xfs_growfs doesn't appear to support shrinking partitions, just growing
them. Is shrinking an XFS partition even possible? If so, how?
thanks!
