moving existing partitions /usr ?

[Neal Pollack]

Hi:

I have read the documentation and help page regarding
the commands
MOVE
RESIZE
and what is unclear is if you can successfully move
an existing ext2 partition that contains data.

Here is the exact desired usage case for Parted;

1.  user made linux system with root too small  P#1
2.  user has unneeded /opt of 150 megs  part#3
3.  I wish to remove partition #3 /opt
4.  I then wish to move /usr (P#2) "UP" by 150 megs
    which would then leave room for growing root P#1

So I suppose this call for moving both the start point
and the end point of /usr, while it is full of linux files.
Is there a way to do this?  The docs do not make that clear.

Sincerely,

Neal Pollack
