Partition Resize / Creation
Hello,
I'm new to SCO and I require some help...
I have an OLD HD which is about to die and I want to replace it with a new HD.
When I clone the HD with either Acronis or Ghost it wont allow me to resize the UNIX partition and I'm stuck with 80% of the new drive as unused space.
I haven't figure out how to use BackupEdge to backup and recover the system *trial version*
Is there a free way to resize the partition?
Or can I create a new partition / division, copy all the files from my current partition and change the auto mount paths?
Any help is appreciated!!!
Thanks,
David

The manual information at http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.html is good, but I am sure about how I mount the partition afterwards.
