I found only one reference that seems to say it is possible https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/324308/resizing-root-partition but whenever I try, growfs complains that the new size is smaller than the original size/ So, I am wondering if it is another case of "don't trust what you read on the web"? Thanks in advance, Olivier
