Steven,
Or just use LVM which removes the error-prone and nail-biting fdisk step:
Unmount filesystem.
Extend the logical volume:
$ sudo lvextend -L2G /dev/vgname/lvname
fsck the filesystem:
$ sudo fsck.ext3 -f /dev/vgname/lvname
Extend the filesystem:
$ sudo resize2fs /dev/vgname/lvname
Mount it again.
Note a couple of things:
At no point did you have to delete a partition and create it again.
There was no need to remember […]
If your NFS mounts seem to take ages to, er, mount, and OpenOffice always opens things read-only, then maybe you forgot to install nfs-common and thus have no NFS locking support.
Or you could go to NFSv4 (mentalist).
Or disable locking in OOo (mentalist).

Having just upgraded my laptop to Ubuntu Edgy one of the things that took me longest to get working how I used to have (or at least how I like) has been the vertical tab bar in Firefox, since Edgy comes with Firefox 2 and the old hack for 1.x no longer works.
For years now […]
