Re: This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout!

Here is what I get when I try to do that:
Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-194481.000 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor    Start       End     Type      Filesystem  Flags
1          0.031   3804.455  primary   ntfs        hidden
2       3804.456   7632.443  primary               boot
3       7632.444  11436.899  primary               lba
4      11436.899 156327.824  extended              
5      11436.930  15249.199  logical               
6      15249.230  16206.196  logical   ext3        
7      16206.227  23838.640  logical   ext3        
8      23838.671  31471.083  logical   ext3        
9      31471.115  39103.527  logical   ext3        
10     39103.559  39260.412  logical   linux-swap  
11     39260.443 156327.824  logical   ext3        
(parted) resize 4 11436 194481                                            
Error: Partition /dev/hda4 is being used.  You must unmount it before
you modify it with Parted.

Unfortunately, since the root filesystem is inside the extended
partition, that's going to make it quite difficult, assuming I have to
unmount all the partitions inside the extended partition before
modifying the extended partition.  Is that correct?
