i need to add a cache partition (to test a mod to cfs). it's a vmware
machine. i think i should be able to expand the disk using vmware
diskmanager and then fdisk in plan9. anyone done this?

When I wanted cfs, I just added another virtual hard drive (about 200
megabytes) and formatted that from within Plan 9. Works just fine!
Perhaps there is a specific reason you want to use the same disk,
but I think my method will save some hassle.

that's a better idea. thanks. that thought had occurred to me, but it
came in a fleeting moment of clarity between my cat's interruptions
and the call to dinner; i promptly forgot it :)
