    I have a quick question on extending a file system. I have an HSV110 and I
    have extend my virtual disk by 100gig. I want to extend the file system
    without umounted it. This is what I did

    1) Extended virtual disk by 100gig
    2) disklabel -rw dsk100
    3) mount -u -o test_domain#test /test

    The file system showed the increase in size and I was able to read and write
    the file system.

    The reason I'm asking the question is the system admin guide has you reading
    the disklabel to a file and then modifying the label and reading it back
    onto the disk (section 6.3). This didn't work for me because is said that
    the open partition extend pass the end of the disk.

    Thanks,
