What is this partion & re-partitiong?
Hi there. I'm setting up a customer's 1600SC with RH EL 3.0 as preloaded from dell. It has 3-36GB hard drives, RAID 5. I want to re-allocate space from root, /usr, and /var to /home for our custom application (there's plenty of space to go around). Planning on using parted to resize the partitions (anyone ever do this?).
df -v shows:

fdisk -l shows:

What is the 68GB of Win95 Ext'd (LBA)? I see from http://docs.us.dell.com/support/edocs/software/osrhel3/en/RHEL3en3.pdf that it is supposed to come with a 32MB utility partition, but I am assuming that is "Dell Utility". If it wasn't so large, I'd say it was related to the RAID 5....
Any ideas would be appreciated.....
Thanks,
Kevin
PS any ideas on getting rid of the KDC error when telnet'ing in would also be appreciated (I don't want/need kerberos running...)
