I need hand holding (I’m sorry, but I’m still not super familiar with linux/unix commands, although I can work the CLI pretty well). I can’t even figure out how to list the partitions after SSHing into the router.
I have DD-WRT installed on a 250GB SSD, and at the time I didn’t create a separate partition and just put all of dd-dwrt on the full size of the partition. Now I want a separate data partition for use as a NAS.
Absolutely correct. The detailed steps are:
* dd off part 4 into a file
* mount/copy off part 3's contents
* delete part 4, then part 3
* make new larger part3, leaving space for part4
* make part 4 (same size or slightly larger than old part4)
* mkfs.ext2 part3
* copy old part3 contents into new part3
* dd old part4 onto new part4
How do I do this? _________________ Google is Spyware

It might be easier to connect the drive to a linux box and use gparted to re-size partitions, etc. Not sure if you can do anything with partitions for this on Windows, considering the filesystems involved. Caveat emptor. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
