Resizing those partitions!

[Richard Crawford]

I have an FC3 server which I primarily use to store my wife's and my MP3 files 
in a directory on /var (/var/shared/music, actually).  I thought that 30GB 
would be plenty of room to store all of our music, but I was, of course, 
wrong.  The drive in question is 160GB.  I'd like to resize some of the 
partitions (I have 50GB assigned to /home, which is never going to fill up).  
This is a single-boot system running only FC3, so I don't need to deal with 
resizing NTFS or FAT32 partitions.  It's a very basic installation, without 
very many bells and whistles (I do have GNOME installed on it, though).

# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1          13      104391   83  Linux
/dev/hda2              14        6387    51199155   83  Linux
/dev/hda3            6388       10211    30716280   83  Linux
/dev/hda4           10212       19457    74268495    5  Extended
/dev/hda5           10212       19457    74268463+  8e  Linux LVM

# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
                       70G  3.0G   63G   5% /
/dev/hda1              99M   13M   82M  13% /boot
none                  125M     0  125M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda2              49G  360M   46G   1% /home
/dev/hda3              29G   28G     0 100% /var

It looks to me that I can move possibly 35 GB from /dev/hda2 to /dev/hda3.  Is 
there a way to snag some of that space from / as well?  70GB seems a bit much 
for that partition.

Or should I just give in and rebuild the system from scratch?

Any guidance at all would be greatly appreciated.
