Background
One of my Xen virtual servers needed to have its 400G disk split and resized over the weekend, and I wanted to keep downtime to a minimal. The disk had 240G used, 235G of which was a /backup directory, and the remaining 5G dedicated to a regular Debian Linux installation. I wanted to split the disk into a two disks - a 20GB disk containing the Linux system, and a 300G disk to mount as /backup. Then I could apply my DRBD setup to replicate that 300G backup partition to a separate 2nd backup machine.
