The gpt(8) tool doesn't support changing the size or position of an existing partition. I'm working on a replacement for gpt(8), so I don't plan to add support to gpt(8) myself. The replacement tool will not have these features to begin with either, because they're not in demand. However, they are planned (changing the size sooner than changing the position/location). If time permits, I should have a resize in the next couple of weeks. -- Marcel Moolenaar xcllnt@mac.com
