What a way to spend 2 days of my easter weekend. I added some RAM and added a drive to the RAID array of the main server.

I needed to dived the extra space over 3 partitions currently on the server, so I needed a partitioning tool, and I did not want to pay for it. I have used Knoppix in the past and loaded up QTParted, and it has worked well. I went to use this tool again, but found I could not move partitions. So I did some searching and found GParted, and they had a Live CD.

So I made sure I had a complete backup and booted up the CD.

Very basic interface, but it was all that was needed, nothing more. The program scanned my drivers and found everything. I then proceeded to resize, and move partitions. The tool did everything I needed! I then Hit apply, and a warning came up saying it might take a long time, and I assumed maybe a few hours.

11 hours later the first partition was done, now came the other 2. just under 20 hours from starting, the process was finished. The only complaint that I have is that there was no message box on the screen reporting that the operations were complete.
