I hope you find a better answer, but the only way I know of to do what I think it is you are proposing is this: 1) dump out all the filesystems that need to be resized or moved (tape, files on an NFS server, another disk drive - whatever) 2) re-slice (fdisk from a fixit disk or bootable CD) 3) restore all the filesystems I hope you find a better way, but at least it can be done in this way. I take it that adding a disk or replacing the disk with a larger one is not an option? -- John Lind john@starfire.MN.ORG
