Resizing kernel partition

[DblDamage]

I'm working on the 3.1.0 / U5 hybrid setup that is mentioned in other threads.

x = new drive w / 3.1.0 restored image.
y = old drive w/ U5 image.

The primary kernel partition on x is 3
The primary kernel partition on y is 6

dd if=/dev/hdy6 of=/dev/hdx3

But it cannot complete the operation because there is insufficient space in hdx3. I looked and found that the U5 partition (hdy) is approximately twice the size of the one on hdx.

Is there a way to resize the partition on hdx, or an alternate way to acheive the end result that I have missed?

^ contains an auto-repartitioner and a tivo compatible copy of pdisk

However, in your case, you do not need to worry about the extra 2 megs because they are ignored. It should work fine truncated.
