<p>Hi Andrew,</p>
<p>Why do you want to delete partitions? Is there a partition that
immediately follows the root filesystem partition? I presume
you're not attempting to delete the partition containing the root
filesystem - what is the partition table output from fdisk?</p>
<p>I've never tried to delete partitions that are mounted, but if
you need to delete a (non-root) partition, can you unmount it
first? (or in the case of swap, use swapoff)?<br>

<p>Hi Andrew,</p>
<p>What's the filesystem? And are you using LVM?</p>
<p>Generally, you can resize a partition online if you're
using LVM - you can also do it if you're not using LVM
by editing the partition table, then running partprobe.
Then, if you have an ext3 or ext4 file system, you can
expand the filesystem to fill the available space in the
partition whilst it's mounted using resize2fs.</p>

<div>Is there a way of resizing a disk that is in
use? Running a debian server (no gui) with 1 drive
that was set to 5gb, which is now running out of
space. yes i know its a stupid size (not my
fault). Increased the vm to see 10gb.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>diskpart is no good as i'm booting to the drive
which is mounting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What is best way round? mount a live cd? add an
extra drive?</div>
