The questions re; the below are 1) Can I just make a partition larger if it is at the end of the drive.
2) If I have to create a new partition on hdb or delete a partition on hda to create an extended ( I believe it would have to be the swap withta rescue disk since everything else has live data) then what is the safest way to move th existing /hda1 data to /hda5 or whatever the new partition is (I'm assuming some form of tar)'
Also any backup experts able to offer advice on output below. I am not looking to replace what is below jsut what may be some problems with rdiff ....
Thanks

I keep runnign out of space on my / but I cannot figure out what is eating up space.
I have /var /tmp /opt /home and /usr mounted on LVM disk space and /boot is a separate partition
When I tried to add a partition on /dev/hda I was warned I had to delete a partition and then create an extended (oops I only created 4 partitions - none extended).
So looking at the above it seems I placed the hda1 partition at the end of the disk. How do I expand the partition into free disk space (am I thinking correctly here or reading the partition correctly?)
Space seems to all get eaten up after I run backupninja - which I have backing up my system settings, mysql DBs and my data on disk.
All the temp stuff SHOULD be getting written to tmp or var subdirectories so I don't understand why / space disappears.
Here are the actual scritps from backupninja

Warning: Fatal Error: Bad rdiff-backup-data dir on destination side The rdiff-backup data directory /mnt/backup/elrey/rdiff-backup-data exists, but we cannot find a valid current_mirror marker. You can avoid this message by removing the rdiff-backup-data directory; however any data in it will be lost. Probably this error was caused because the first rdiff-backup session into a new directory failed. If this is the case it is safe to delete the rdiff-backup-data directory because there is no important information in it.

Now I believe that any output above is going to var/backups/* so no space should be getting eaten by the backups. The Warning I've been getting for a while and not entirely sure when it decided that the rdiff backup data was corrupt.
