Anyone ever expanded a C partition in a multi-partitioned RAID-5 server?  
Client needs to do so to add new software.  Any time I've thought about doing 
this it has been: back up twice, verify backups, blow away D partition, expand 
C, add D partition, restore from backup.  Client uses Acronis to back up server 
and when he talked to their sales people they sold him this $600 program, which 
I had never heard of:

    to automatically or manually merge, split, resize, copy, and move

He's says he's going to try this, and I may get to pick up the pieces ;-)
