Disk Partiotioning

[Keith R. Evans]

If you use Logical Volumn manager (LVM), then you can automatically resize 
the partition. Parted is suppose to do it for you, but I do not have a lot 
of faith in the tool, so what I usually do is create a new partition with 
the size  I want, and copy the contents of the old partition to the new 
partition.  After creating the new partition, update your fstab with the new 
partition and reboot your system with the new partition replacing the old. 
You can then mount the old partition to a temporary mount point and drop it. 
Do not unmount the old because the system knows about it until the reboot 
when it will point to the new partition.  If it is not a critical partition 
like /var /boot /, /tmp, or swap, then you can just umount it and mount the 
new partition on the old mount point.
