Creating partitions using fdisk?

[StickyBit]

Folks,

I have the following partitions created and mounted on my SCSI disk (Redhat 7.3, system has only 1 scsi disk sda)

Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 3099260 1366612 1575216 47% /
none 1161872 0 1161872 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda3 1059392 61752 943824 7% /var

What disk utility should I use to see the free space (aprox 13.2GB) I have on my SCSI disk and also allow me to create new partitions on that free space. I'm finding fdisk a little confusing for this task. Should I have created all of my partitions during the initial installation using disk druid?

Thanks

Stickybit.

/sbin/fdisk /dev/sda

"p" to print the current partitons on that disk.
"m" for help

It's not that bad, but be careful. Bruce Garlock
