Hello everyone,

I deleted and fomatted my win xp partition and hope to make use of its
space. The three partitions are now:

/dev/hda1 linux reiserfs (was the win partition, now empty)
/dev/hda2 linux swap
/dev/hda3 linux reiserfs (the working linux installation)

I want to move the complete linux installation on hda3 to hda1 because
hda1 was larger. And the smaller hda3 partition can then be used for my
experimental purposes such as LFS etc. To do that, i booted using a
rescue CD.

Problem is that the parted tool in the rescue CD dosen't support
reiserfs file system without the libreiserfs
(http://reiserfs.osdn.org.ua). But i could not install anything because
i am running the linux from the rescue CD.

Any idea will be appreciated!

best regards,
oy

try acronis to move or change the reiserfs-partition.

good luck

michael
