6.3.1.2 Shrinking a DriveSpace partition

To decrease the size of a DriveSpace partition, do the following:

  1. Use MS DriveSpace to shift the free space from the compressed drive to the host drive. The amount of free space shifted corresponds to the desired amount by which to shrink the partition.
  2. Use Parted's resize command to shrink the partition to the desired size. NOTE: Parted doesn't give good feedback on what the numbers, to know how much to shrink the partition by. This is on the TODO list.
