Yes. You have to make a little empty space in the drive by shrinking the original partition, and then create a small partition and start moving your data in it, while shrinking the old partition and growing the new one. When all the data is in the new partition, change the old partition's cluster size, and move the data back to the old partition using the same technique. This process might take a bit long, since there's a lot of moving and resizing in it.

This is done for two reasons. Indeed, moving the data is not necessary for shrinking a partition. But leaving the data in it's original place, results in unused sectors in the partition's FAT, which is lost space. The second reason is that you cannot grow a partition without growing it's FAT, and in order to grow the FAT, you have to move the data. See similar questions...

You don't. You can as well backup all your data, use FDISK to repartition your drive, and restore the backed up data in the new partition. But while this can take sometimes many hours, and this only if you have a tape streamer (don't even think about using floppy disks), Partition Resizer will do the job in 5-30 minutes in most cases.

Best way is to get it from this page, which has a new link now, http://zeleps.com (please update your bookmarks). Also, you can always find it in any SimTel mirror site, like oak.oakland.edu, or nic.funet.fi, in the directory SimTel/msdos/diskutil under the name presz???.zip. ??? is the current version number. Another good way to locate the latest version is to perform a web or ftp search, using "presz" as the search string (ftp search can be performed at ftpsearch.ntnu.no). See similar questions...

This is why FAT volumes larger than 511MB are not recommended due to the amount of potentially wasted space due to the 16KB and above cluster size. NTFS better balances the trade off between disk defragmentation due to smaller cluster size and wasted space due to a large cluster size. See similar questions...

The program itself works fine with these, since it doesn't consider them as drives. Partition Resizer scans ONLY physical drives for partitions. But it shouldn't be run from a compressed drive that resides in a partition that will be resized or moved. If you're uncertain about that, just run Partition Resizer from a bootable floppy disk. Absolutely. Long filenames are not affected, since the program doesn't mess with directory and file descriptors. See similar questions...

Depends. It does not run under Windows NT/2000/XP, and it does not resize NTFS partitions, but it can move Windows NT/2000/XP partitions and it does not damage your Windows NT/2000/XP installation. See similar questions...

You have to boot from a bootable DOS floppy disk to run Partition Resizer under NT/2000/XP. In Windows XP you can create a bootable floppy disk from Windows Explorer by inserting the floppy in the drive, right-clicking the drive, selecting 'Format...' and checking the 'Create an MS-DOS startup disk' option. Then copy Partition Resizer in that disk and proceed as described in README.1ST. See similar questions...

I really do not want to invest time in creating a fancy user interface, although it would simplify a few things both for me and the users. If I get bored enough, I'll probably do something about it. The new site was created by Stathis Sideris (http://www.satspeed.gr/~im), to whom I am eternally in debt for uplifting my sorry excuse for a site. My artistic nature is comparable to that of a colorblind hedgehog (in a bag). See similar questions...

This is an option I consider, although it would be a bit complicated. This is because all the changes that Partition Resizer does to a hard disk are extremely dangerous (although possible - beware!) to be done while under a multitasking environment. Therefore, even if the user makes all his selections under windows, the program core must be run in DOS mode. I am considering the possibility of a Windows interface that will co-exist with the current DOS interface (probably in the same EXE file). See similar questions...

MySQL Cluster supports all of the usual MySQL data types, with the exception of those associated with MySQL's spatial extensions. (See Chapter 17, Spatial Extensions.) In addition, there are some differences with regard to indexes when used with NDB tables. Note: MySQL Cluster Disk Data tables (that is, tables created with TABLESPACE ... STORAGE DISK ENGINE=NDBCLUSTER) have only fixed-width rows. See similar questions...

Basic data partitions correspond to primary MBR partitions 0x6 (FAT), 0x7 (NTFS), or 0xB (FAT32). Each basic partition can be mounted using a drive letter or mount point, other volume device object, or both. Each basic data partition is represented in Windows as a volume device object, and optionally as a mount point or a drive letter. See similar questions...

It has the following partition type GUID: DEFINE_GUID (PARTITION_BASIC_DATA_GUID, 0xEBD0A0A2L, 0xB9E5, 0x4433, 0x87, 0xC0, 0x68, 0xB6, 0xB7, 0x26, 0x99, 0xC7); See similar questions...

The data held in memory by the cluster's storage nodes is written to disk, and is reloaded in memory the next time that the cluster is started. To shut down the cluster, enter the following in a shell on the machine hosting the MGM node: shell> ndb_mgm -e shutdown This will cause the ndb_mgm, ndb_mgm, and any ndbd processes to terminate gracefully. MySQL servers running as Cluster SQL nodes can be stopped using mysqladmin shutdown. For more information, see Section 16.6. See similar questions...

In older versions of the Cluster Project, a quorum disk was needed to break ties in a two-node cluster. Early versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4) did not have quorum disks, but it was added back as an optional feature in RHEL4U4. In RHCS 4 update 4 and beyond, see the man page for qdisk for more information. As of September 2006, you need to edit your configuration file by hand to add quorum disk support.
