Increasing the size of a disk partition ...

Hello managers,

        We have three DEC Alphas running OSF/1 ... we recently added on
each a 2GB disk ... now I want to increase the space allocation to /usr on
the old disks after I move out the home directories onto the new disk.
 
        My question is after I copy out the /home to the new disk can I
just do a disklabel -e /dev/rrz3c and change the partition sizes so that
now /usr can take the size of the old /usr + the old /home ?

Has anyone tried this ? Any other pointers are also welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Will summarize
