I need to resize one of the partitions to give it some more free space.
I assume this means you want to grow the partition, make it change from x GB to x+y GB.
with it not appearing in Yast, I can't resize it.
Don't do SuSE, don't know Yast, can't help with it.
So, I go into "fdisk /dev/sdc" to see what that says - it shows the
following output:
Running "fdisk -l /dev/sdc" will also output the partition table.
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 32635.
This is important, the disk has 32635 cylinders.
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 32635 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 1 32635 262140606 83 Linux
/dev/sdc1 currently occupies cylinders 1 through 32635. Since the disk has a total of 32635 cylinders this means it spans the entire disk.
If my assumption above is correct, and you want /dev/sdc1 to be bigger, you can't do this. At least not without adding another drive.
Is this an issue? Or is it a problem with the 'parted' utility..
My guess is the latter, but I've never used parted. Maybe the "old" version of parted from SuSE 8 (which is pretty old) can't handle some things as well as fdisk.
