Greetings,
	
I have a 4 node TruCluster connected to an EVA5000 SAN.  I have in the
past successfully resized ADVFS disk domains where they are connected to
the c partition of a device.

1. grow the lun
2. disklabel -wr <device>
3. mount -u -o entend <mountpoint>

The situation I have now that I have not been able to resolve is:
	On dsk2 I have 3 separate advfs domains (cluster_root - dsk2a,
cluster_usr - dsk2g, cluster_var - dsk2h).
	What I want to do is grow the h partition only.

Disklabel -wr dsk2 fails with (disklabel: ioctl DIOCSDINFO: Open
partition would move or shrink)
Disklabel -e dsk2 and modifying:
	(cylinders: new value
 sectors/unit: new value
 the size for partition c to be the new whole disk size
 the size for partition h to include the new available additional space)
fails with:

	:q
write new label? [y]:
  disklabel: New partition 'c' overlaps with in-use partition 'a'
Allow unused partition 'c' to overlap in-use partition 'a'? [n] y
  disklabel: New partition 'c' overlaps with in-use partition 'g'
Allow unused partition 'c' to overlap in-use partition 'g'? [n] y
  disklabel: New partition 'c' overlaps with in-use partition 'h'
Allow unused partition 'c' to overlap in-use partition 'h'? [n] y
  disklabel: Partition 'h' is in-use; Cannot modify its size or
location.'
re-edit the label? [y]:

If it had succeeded I would then execute " # mount -u -o extend /var"

Any suggestions as to a way forward would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Bruce
