I need more space.  We had the idea that we'd take down the instance, give
it a larger minidisk and then use VM to copy the existing partition to the
larger minidisk.  Although this sounded like the easiest way to accomplish
this, I don't think it'll work now that we've done it.  It IPLs ok and when
I go into YAST in the "partitioner" area I see the larger DASD, however, the
partition has not changed (obviously).  I guess the thinking (or lack
thereof) was that this would extra space would magically appear.  However,
now I realize that isn't the case and to get a partition on DASDC I'm going
to need to format it to get the extra space then partition it, is this
correct?  I suspect I'll be told about LVM but right now this is just a
proof of concept and it didn't seem worth the effort to implement LVM for a
few instances.    I think what I have to do is add a minidisk the size I
want, format it, partition it, then copy everything over there and change
the mount points, does this sound along the right lines?  Thanks
