Hello

I need some help with disk defrag & non-destructive partitioning.

I am using a 4 gig hard drive (/dev/hdc). Right now it has only 2 partitions, 1 swap (128mb)
& 1 Linux Native (balance) running RedHat 6.1.

What I want to do is shrink the Linux Native (/dev/hdc2) so I can install Storm Linux and
probably swap in this new partition(s), but I don't know if the utilities exist and, if they
exist, what they are.

If worse comes to worse I can always backup and use fdisk to recreate partitions, I was
hoping there might be a simpler way.

Thanks
