Hi
I use fdisk to see the partitions on my harddrive. I have following partitions
/dev/hda1(boot)
/dev/hda2
/dev/hda3(swap)
Now I want to create a partition named /dev/hda2 . How do i do this plus how do I assign it disk space. The disk space for the other partition in shown in blocks. how do I compare it with MB in other filesystems (like win file system)
Thank you

im no expert but i have heard that disk druid is a good partitioning tool
-
Thank you for your response. But how do you install and use disk druid?
-
sorry, i never used it, my guess would be downloading it and read any text files that come with it such as the readme. also sometime your distro will come with its own partitioning tool, see if yours has one. sorry i can't be more help but i'm still learning too.

There is Partitionmagic like utility also available for linux. It will come handy otherwise fdisk is always there
