[CLUE-Tech] please rescue me from poor planning

[Garey Hoffman]

There is a GNU project called Parted that allows you to create and 
resize partitions on Linux. I've used it successully in a similar 
situation. It is a very powerful tool so you need to plan ahead and be 
careful what you do. Make sure you backup your data before using Parted. 
I'm not sure if it will work in your situation but it's probably worth 
checking out.
