There should be zero reboots required for this.
Most partition tools do a partition table reread automatically when you exit, or you can use 'hdparm -z /dev/sdX' to do it. If /proc/partitions shows the new sizes, you are good to go.
Is there a way to partition the drive in a running system?
The only way that I know of is to reboot onto a rescue disk and use gparted there to partition the drive.
I have not been able to find anything using duckduck nor ms google.
A complete back is just finishing as I write this.
Thanking those that have contributed to the conversation for their assistance!!
Well cfdisk, parted, fdisk, gdisk, etc. Somewhat depends if you need GPT or MBR style partition table. -- Len Sorensen
