I installed Ubuntu Jaunty Jackelope 9.04 with a root partition plus swap partition. I would like to repartition to have separate /home and /backup partitions in addition to the existing root and swap partitions, all on the same hard drive.

I know gparted can resize the partitions. I looked at /etc/fstab but it has a bunch of strange stuff in it which is unfamiliar to me, nothing like any fstab I've seen before:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda6
UUID=68b18f4a-56ff-4f78-9973-1c2877d22e2a / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda7
UUID=f1976c22-44b4-440a-9b6e-e52a7e9f4d5f none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

What must I do? Is there a guide somewhere?

Many thanks,

Phil
