How to resize solaris partitions?


How to resize solaris partitions without losing any data?

Looks like both partition magic and Acronis PartitionExpert doesn't support solaris file system huh?

Either wait for solaris 10 dfs (aka zfs) or backup your existing partition(s), resize you slices and or your fdisk partitions and restore the whole data.
Can't tell more without details on current and wanted set-up.
Partition magic is probably able to move around you solaris partitions, but I strongly doubt it can enlarge or reduce them.
Moreover, if you do it, you'll probably need to reinstall the solaris partition boot block (see man installboot) too.
