Sure. When you do the disklabel, just increase the size of the g partition to
take up all the space up 'til h starts [change the size to 10240000 =
(54272000 - 44032000)]. And then (again, I recommend rebooting and
double-checking first) run growfs on it. It should just work.
DISCLAIMER: I've never used growfs. I have actually *done* the stuff I
discussed my earlier message (actually I've done some harrier stuff than
that) so I spoke from experience, but I only recently stumbled across growfs
and have had no reason to use it yet.
As always, back up everything before making changes of this nature!
