partition changing?

[Clutch]

I am using Mandrake 8 and run of a home partition on an old 8 gig drive. My /home is almost full but the root dir has a few gigs of empty space. Is it possible to swap some of the free space to the other partitions without destroying data?

A program like Partition Magic should do the job. I don't know of any freeware equivalents. Of course, none will guarantee that you won't lose any data... Anytime you change the partition table, you run the chance of losing everything.

An easier solution would be to create a partition on the root directory and move some storage there... Such as /home2 or /storage. Then, you can link to it in your home directory... "ln -s /home2 /home/username/storage"
