mmm

I tried also but far from being an expert of fdisk at one moment I made e=
nough
mistake to reach to broken my fs :-(
(... :-) I had a fresh backup so don't have any pb to recover data)

I had an additional remark:
to use this disk as a new boot disk (a mirror) for my hppa box I need at
least
a (small) /boot fs standing in the first 2Gb of the disk
I have so to move my original data slice. Unfortunately, the best I can d=
o
is to reduce the size of my fs to 20Gb (on a disk of 36Gb). So I will nev=
er
have any opportunity to copy it at another place on the same disk (the on=
ly
other available disk being of only 9Gb) to mimic the move.

hth,
    Joel
