I only want to add another 10M to partition 7 so that I can add meta device database replica for the LVM. Thanks      |

Yes, that should be possible since they're contiguous. Partition 1 ends at cylinder 12616 and partition 7 begins at 12617. If you can unmount everything on the drive, do that and then use "swap -d" to turn off that swap area. Then just use format, make partition 1 10MB smaller, make partition 7 begin at the the cylinder after parition 1, then make partition 7 as big as possible. By doing this, you will lose all the data on partitions 1 and 7. That doesn't matter for partition 1 since it's just swap, but if you have anything important on partition 7, you need to make arrangements for that. - Logan |

| Re: partition changes U have to first of all stop using slice 1 for swap using swap -d Then u can resize the partition and add it once again using the swap command .
