Hi, all
I'm traying to upgrade Alpha Station 255 from DU 3.2D-1 to DU 4.0D. I
arranged instalation media also for DU 4.0 and DU 4.0A. I successfully
upgraded firmware. When trying to upgrade to 4.0, instalation procedure
responsed with the message regarding not enough space on the root
partition. I tryed to remove all unneccessary files, but the message
remains.
The size of root partition iz 64 Mb and it is probably not enough for
upgrade to 4.0D.
I do not have much experiences with administrating DU, but with help of
manuals I found out, that there is probably one unused partition of 800
Mb on the hard disk which can be used as root partition.
Please, give me some advice, how to transfer root partition to this
unused part of the disk.
Below I'm sending result of command
disklabel -r rz0
Partition a is actual root partition, partition b is swap, partition g
is used as /usr and partition h is free.
# disklabel -r rz0

Any other advice regarding upgrading is appreciated.
