Re:Re: is there any way to expand the fs size

hi ,

  The /usr is now on a new 1.2 gb partition ...though the / partition is now 
only 10% full and i got 'parted' to see what i can do about it.
However i have some doubts

>/dev/hda1       /             ext2   defaults,errors=remount-ro 0      1
>/dev/hda2       none          swap   sw                         0      0
>proc            /proc         proc   defaults                   0      0
>/dev/hda3       /usr          ext2   defaults			0      0

  Some problem with this sample fstab though both my partition / and /usr 
are like

>/dev/hdc3       /    ext2   defaults                    1 1
>/dev/hda3       /usr ext2   defaults	                 1 1

>read the man page for fstab and mount.

as you can see both the 5th and 6th field are 1 in my file.The / was like 
that by default and the second one i made like that because i thought the 
/usr was a part of / earlier and since one of the fields is for checking if 
the partition was unmounted properly (frrom what i gathered from man pages 
for fstab)and since /usr is a part of the system i thought checking it would 
make sense. Also i couldnt understand properly what the second 1 was for and 
just copied it from the / partition set value.

  or is it the other way round make link from /home/usr to /home1/usr ? i 
mean since the user home directories are expected to be in /home/  though i 
admit i am only trying to make sense out of it and this may not be the case.
