    Morning list,

    Is it possible to increase the size of certain partitions ? In the Disk
    Config GUI, I would like to resize the a, b, g, and h partitions, can this
    be done on the fly? The
    prompt says " The partition h is currently being used by the system and
    may not be modified at this time.....you may change this if you modify the
    systems usage." I try to uncheck Advfs, but that isn't allowed
    either.

    Thanks again all.
