I thought about that, having just been through a somewhat similar process last evening, but he said he used tar, and in that case there is no need (or point) to run resize2fs. What I did (on a PC) is this: dd if=/dev/hda of=t/hda.backup #t/ is another disk Then I took the second disk to another machine. dd if=t/hda.backup of=/dev/hda The new hda is 40 Gbytes, the old one 6.4 Gbytes, so... fdisk /dev/hda # to delete and reallocate the second of two partitions e2fsck -f /dev/hda2 resize2fs /dev/hda2 That procedure should be able to be adapted to S/390, but the use of tar like this: tar c -C / var | tar xp -C t should just work. As should the use of dump/restore, but I'm less familiar with those programs. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/
