hi
I have a USB memory stick; I have created one partition on it;
the current layout is=20
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 130 MB, 130809856 bytes
5 heads, 50 sectors/track, 1021 cylinders
Units =3D cylinders of 250 * 512 =3D 128000 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 1021 127600 83 Linux
I wanted to use parted to resize my partition
(to make room for a second crypto partition )=20
But if I try to use parted on it, I get
# parted /dev/sda
GNU Parted 1.6.21 with HFS shrink patch 16
=2E...
Using /dev/sda
(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/sda: 0.000-124.750 megabytes
Disk label type: loop
Minor Start End Filesystem Flags
1 0.000 124.750 fat16
(parted)
This is very dangerous
