with the next release of alice AND the yast from SuSE 7.3 you can use parted
to partition your HD, so it will be possible to shrik such a partition and
generate new ones...
Greetings Jürgen
Doku of the new tags (rpm will follow)
- ---------------------------------------
The following tags are NOT available any released alice-package. They will
come with the next alice-package. See also
http://lists.suse.com/archive/alice/2001-Sep/0076.html
SYS_PARTITION_REMOVE:
In this tag yo can specify, which partition should be removed
example:
<SYS_PARTITION_REMOVE>
/dev/hda 2 3 4
/dev/hdb 5 6 7 8
</SYS_PARTITION_REMOVE>
would remove partition 2,3,4 on hda and 5,6,7,8 on hdb
SYS_PARTITION_SCRIPT
here you can specify a set of commands that should be executed (use gnuparted
to
shrik a windows partition, ..)
example:
<SYS_PARTITION_SCRIPT>
parted /dev/hda resize 1 52 104 mkfs 2 fat
</SYS_PARTITION_SCRIPT>
this would resize the first partition and generate a new 2nd partition
see http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/USER for more infos how to use GNU
parted
SYS_PARTITION_DISK_<device>
with that tag you describe how the layout of the disk should look like.
