[SLUG] disk partitioning

["Alister Waller" <alister@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a Disk partioned rather poorly.
I have more free space on the drive and have used cfdisk to partion this.
How do I now mount this so that I can make use of this space?
The disk basically only has / mounted (plus a swap and boot partion of
course). (not done by me)

I would ideally like to partition it up to be the usual like /home /usr /var
/usr/local etc. Can this be done now or do I need to backup and then rebuild
and restore data into the new partitions?

any pointers, help would be appreciated.

regards

PS: For all the bagging etc etc on this list I find the responses quick and
very helpful. Thanks SLUGGERS.
