Get all your drive spec noted down and then give some thought to you what you want to do.
I know exactly what I want to do, 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 That space between 1091 and 2093 needs to become part of partition 3. In this table, it's dead. parted has been able now to add it to /boot BUT it does NOT show up in df
Admitedly parted does not have any chrome and GUI overhead, but the online doc in the form of help is clear and straight forward, provided you have a sensible grasp of drive geometry. If you're not clear about it then leave
I do understand the drive geometry and I do want that 1Gb.
well alone, after all 1Gb is not worth the hassle, just slap another drive in it.
