How does one increase the size of a filesystem? i've got a file system thats full and i need to increase the size.
Basically you have two options:
1) You can create a new larger partition and move the data to this new partition. See the link in the references section for details on how to do that.
2) Purchase a copy of Partition Magic 4.0. From what I hear, this version has support for the ext2 filesystem.
