Issue

How does one increase the size of a filesystem? i've got a file 
system thats full and i need to increase the size. 

Response

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.
