Be sure to test this on a 1Mb file before doing it on something you care about, but ... dd if=/dev/zero of=lun1.img bs=1024k skip=20000 count=35000 or dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k count=15000 >> lun1.img I'm not sure how well windows will handle the live expansion of the disk. I suggest doing it while windows is offline, and then run diskmgmt again on windows to expand your partition. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
