ColinuxImageTools
From coLinux
There are a couple tools that have been developed to help users create and manage Colinux disk images.
[edit] TopoResize
This program will create new images or enlarge/shrink existing images using the ext2 or ext3 filesystem. It's still pretty new (and may have bugs), so use at your own risk. (There is in fact a bug where it won't work when your image filename has a space in it.) However, if you're squeezed for disk space, this program can be a real lifesaver! =) It uses a GUI so it is "newbie friendly" in terms of ease of use. The options are pretty straightforward.
You can get it at: http://hem.passagen.se/svto/tlinux/files/ - look for toporesize.zip, it's a binary.
<gadget> The link mentioned above has been updated. Program has changed its location and name (formerly "Topo Enlarge", badly spelled as "ToOpenLarge").
TopoResize is also a good source for getting cygwin ports of e2fsprogs. It is just a tcl/tk front end for them so advanced users can use them at the command line.
Also, see the NiceTools page for the Colinux file utilities, which are a set of command line tools that help with creating and managing disk images. In addition to letting you create and resize partitions, the Colinux file utils let you create "sparse" disk images.
<manuel> the link for toporesize.zip is broken, here's my link for toporesize.zip http://usuarios.lycos.es/aquiestachilo/toporesize please save the file to other website if you can because my link might not work for very long
<Ajit>I have uploaded the file on rapidshare. It would last depending on how many peopla use it. Link: http://loadup.dr.ag/s/http__dl2.rapidshare.de_files_4314869_228064097_toporesize.zip / http://rapidshare.de/files/4314869/toporesize.zip.html cheers!!
