[LUG] Parted query



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I want to reduce the size of the windows partition and merge that 1Gb with 
the root partition of RH7.2

Output is now:
Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-5729.062 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor    Start       End     Type      Filesystem  Flags
1          0.031   1027.595  primary   FAT         boot, lba
2       1027.595   1090.349  primary   ext3
3       2094.412   5475.278  primary   ext3
4       5475.278   5726.293  extended
5       5475.309   5726.293  logical   linux-swap

So how do I use the space between 1090 and 2094?

parted resize 3 1091 2093 fails to accomplish anything, it just returns 
without errors.

parted move 3 1091 5475 complains about copying over itself.
(same as 1091 to 4475)

mkpart foobar ext2 1091 2093 complains no matter what type is inserted. (Too 
many primaries, extended: overlapping partition)

What now?

At present, looks like I'll have to wait until I upgrade RH with a clean 
install. By which time, I probably won't need Windows on this machine anyways.
