i was doing an archbang install and let it format my partition, but i got somekind of I/O access errorr so i kept the partitions and installed suse instead. the / partition is a bit tiny and needs resizing. can someone show me the best way to resize the / partition, please? it's the first yellow one in the screenshot. the partition next to it will only resize in the other direction. http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/8338/screenshotujm.png http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/714/screenshotujm.png/ what's the best solution? i wish i'd instead btrfs

thanks mack_guy for your helping me out with your beautifully made videos for some reason my ubuntu live cd wouldn't resize and move the partitions the way i needed them doing. but, my ubuntu install worked like a boss so i'm hoping my suse tumbleweed, will boot again if i keep my fingers crossed lol, and feel better for the extra room on the root partition. once again thanks for helping me mack_guy, keep up the good work with the videos
Hi iceni60, What version of Ubuntu Live CD with what version of GParted are you using? For example, I am using Ubuntu Live CD 10.10 to post this message, and the GParted Partition Editor is version 0.6.2 which is an older version. I have been successful at resizing my partitions with Parted Magic aka pmagic which has recently released a new version Live CD at partedmagic.com. Parted Magic uses the latest GParted Partition editor. -- Tom
