That will work.  

You also may want to look into using the logical volume manager (LVM).

Subject: [rhn-users] Resizing ext3 partition


I want to increase the size of an ext3 partition (/opt) which is the 2nd

last partition on the hard drive. The drive has lots of empty space.

What is the best way to do this? Use parted? I get this message when I 
try to move an ext3 partition -> "Filesystem has incompatible feature 
enabled". I tried posting to the parted mailing list but there was no 
response.

I am starting to think that I should tar the last 2 partitions (sda10 
and sda11), delete them both, recreate them both (with sda10 bigger), 
and untar the data back.

Does this sound ok?

Rob
