Date: 28 Aug 1996 19:19:27 GMT Organization: Volvo Corp. Lines: 23 Message-ID: <50263v$dfl@nike.volvo.se> References: <rd6863dg7m.fsf@epiphore.francenet.fr> NNTP-Posting-Host: cyklop.volvo.se X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] If there is space left on the disk, you can build a new partition from that space straight away. But if you need to resize the existing partition - well, mounting one more disk might be an option.
