My drive is ext2 partitioned. I thought that fips only worked on fat
partitions? There is GNU Parted (or something like that) which I think
will work but backing up 40gigs of data is a pain. Especially since the
system is live and rather difficult to make unlive if that makes
sense.. many processes working on many different things all working on the
data live. :P My fault. When I got the drive I figured I'd never need more
than 10 gigs in a single partition. LOL
