Hi
I've searched over the net ,but I couldn't find any tut on how to move /boot partition.
my current partition layout is :
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 63 135588599 67794268+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 135588600 379856924 122134162+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 379856925 380065769 104422+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 380065770 488392064 54163147+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 413625618 419890904 3132643+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 419890968 487026539 33567786 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 487028588 488392064 681738+ b W95 FAT32
/dev/sda8 380065896 413625554 16779829+ 83 Linux
where /dev/sda3 (primary partition) is /boot partition and i want to move it on /dev/sda7 (extended partition).
I guess i need to copy all files and reinstall grub but I want to be sure not to mess up the sys
PS: I use grub2
thnx

mount the new partion somewhere, cp -a all the files to it, edit fstab, unmount the old boot, remount the new one to /boot, reinstall grub to the mbr.
