I need just a little help.  I'm trying to expand the partition, and obviously doing something incorrectly.  

I'm trying to use the directions here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137934.msg2888042#msg2888042
and then found this extra info here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137934.msg4641487#msg4641487

After I try any iteration of these directions the system never comes back after the reboot before the resize.  

The one glaring difference in setup I found are that one says to create the new partition as a primary, the other as an extended.  

Both ways yield the same result.  

So I guess what I'm asking is if someone could perhaps post a new set of directions for myself, and anyone after me looking to expand the parititon on 0.2.4.6 and is stumbling.  

Here is the result I get from the initial fdisk print:

Thanks in advance.

NM: Found the answer to my own question here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137934.msg4594500#msg4594500

I was searching for the term expand partition, which didn't pop that post till I started searching for partprobe hunting for answers. 

Short answer is I had to kill both 2 and 5, then recreate them 2 as an extended, 5 as a logical.  Hope this breadcrumb helps someone else find the right post.
