Hi, After running for a couple of months with about half of my storage space under vinum, I am happy enough with the results to wish to move all my storage to vinum volumes. (Great work Greg!) In order to do so, I'll need to resize the vinum disk objects, and I wonder if that is possible. Each drive on my system is partitioned into a-f (for on which I have swap and UFS filesystems), and h (which I use for vinum). e.g. 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 128520 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0 - 7) b: 128520 128520 swap # (Cyl. 8 - 15) c: 17912412 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1114*) e: 4112640 257040 4.2BSD 1024 8192 8192 # (Cyl. 16 - 271) f: 4112640 4369680 4.2BSD 1024 8192 8192 # (Cyl. 272 - 527) h: 9430092 8482320 vinum # (Cyl. 528 - 1114*) Now, I wonder can I backup partions e and f, delete them, and then resize h to allocate the storage to vinum? e.g. I want to wind up with: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 128520 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0 - 7) b: 128520 128520 swap # (Cyl. 8 - 15) c: 17912412 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1114*) h: 17655372 257040 vinum 1024 8192 8192 # (Cyl. 16 - 1114*) I imagine that I'm just going to have to back everything up and start over, but I thought I'd ask first.
