SCO Unix; possible to resize partitions?
If anyone is willing to help I would defenitely appreciate it!
The situtation is that we have a client that had a "falling out" with their software/hardware vendor and now aren't able to get support for their machines and software.
What's happening is they're using SCO-Unix and a medical software called SDM (Scientific Data Management, which was later Vital-Works, which is now Cerner) and they're getting database errors related to not having enough drive space. Usually when I GHOST a HDD I'm able to adjust the sizes of the partitions to the destination but when I GHOST this hard drive onto a bigger one it won't let me do it. So basically the original hard drive is ~4GB, single partition. The new hard drive is ~20GB. After Ghosting to the new drive I have the ~20GB drive split into 2 partitions. The ~4GB and then the ~16 unallocated space. Is there an easy way to resize/reallocate that ~4GB or ~16GB to just be ONE drive. Oh yeah, and to make this more fun. I don't have any SCO Floppies to boot from but I do have a tape backup (which I'm not even totally sure what it has on there).
Any help to some tutorials or readings would be fantastic!
Thank YOU!
Stressed,
Partie™

virt-list-partitions
virt-list-partitions(1) Virtualization Support virt-list-partitions(1)
NAME
virt-list-partitions - List partitions in a virtual machine or disk image
SYNOPSIS
virt-list-partitions [--options] domname
virt-list-partitions [--options] disk.img [disk.img ...]
OBSOLETE
This tool is obsolete. Use virt-filesystems(1) as a more flexible replacement.
DESCRIPTION
"virt-list-partitions" is a command line tool to list the partitions that are contained in a virtual machine or disk image. It is mainly
useful as a first step to using virt-resize(1).
"virt-list-partitions" is just a simple wrapper around libguestfs(3) functionality. For more complex cases you should look at the
guestfish(1) tool.
OPTIONS
--help
Display brief help.
--version
Display version number and exit.
-c URI
--connect URI
If using libvirt, connect to the given URI. If omitted, then we connect to the default libvirt hypervisor.
If you specify guest block devices directly, then libvirt is not used at all.
--format raw
Specify the format of disk images given on the command line. If this is omitted then the format is autodetected from the content of
the disk image.
If disk images are requested from libvirt, then this program asks libvirt for this information. In this case, the value of the format
parameter is ignored.
If working with untrusted raw-format guest disk images, you should ensure the format is always specified.
-h
--human-readable
Show sizes in human-readable form (eg. "1G").
-l
--long
With this option, "virt-list-partitions" displays the type and size of each partition too (where "type" means "ext3", "pv" etc.)
-t
--total
Display the total size of each block device (as a separate row or rows).
SHELL QUOTING
Libvirt guest names can contain arbitrary characters, some of which have meaning to the shell such as "#" and space. You may need to quote
or escape these characters on the command line. See the shell manual page sh(1) for details.
