Expanding the root area on SCO 5.07?
I would like to expand the size of the root area, currently 800 kb, to a size of 2000 kb. Is that possible to do without loosing any data in the /u area? There is plenty of space available in the /u area.

dear,
my os is sco 5.0.6 and for create/modify space using 'divvy' you may swap some
space from one mounted area from another area.

get BackupEDGE from microlite.com, save your system,. then use RevcioverEDGE to change the disk arrangment before restoring.
