Re: Resizing a Partition

["Christopher J. Booth" <cbooth aixx net>]

Yes, Thank you.

df gives me the original value of /boot [/dev/hda2]. I have run lilo
numerous times since changing the partition. fdisk reports the partition
correctly.

du /boot also reports the original size of the partition.

Any futher ideas as to how I can get Red Hat to correctly see the size of
the /dev/hda [/boot] partition?

Thank you for your response.
