You will get sooo many hits ...

A short summary is this:

1) Normally not needed, inspect for large files in wrong locations

2) if it is needed, backup the system and restore with ignite. Adjust settings during recovery.

Since /stand, swap and / need to be contiguous, it is extremely rare that this can be accomplished. As Torsten pointed out, you would be better served to look at what is filling up the file system. Under normal circumstances there should be VERY little, if any, growth in the root FS. If there is you've got a problem that you should be able to fix without having to enlarge anything.
