I am afraid I know the answer to this one! I just hope somebody can tell me wrong! My SS2 came with 2 internal 207Mb drives. sd0 was formatted with /, /usr, and /home partitions and OSS4.1.1 was installed. Then I installed fortran, a bunch of other things. etc.. Then I formatted the second drive with a small partition for added swap space and a big one. I transfered home from sd0 to sd1. Now I would like to repartition sd0 so that /usr can get all that added space. I went into format, then into "partition", removed home and increased /usr by the appropriate amount. It seems that this is not taken into account. when I do a du or df, /usr has the same old available space. Will I have to REINSTALL everything on sd0 (os4.1.1, all my addon software etc...) so as to increase the size of the /usr partition? Similarly, if i want to reduce the swap partition on sd0, will I have to do it in INSTALL, or can I do it in the format program? The manual seems to imply that I have to reinstall, does that mean redoing everything? Or can I just do minor changes inside reinstall without having to redo the whole installation? Neophytely yours, Thanks for your help Eric
