Hello managers,

I have an A.S. 8400. The system root is compossed by two 9.1 Gb disks
conected to a SWXCR in Raid 1.
The disklabel is this:

.....
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] # NOTE:
values not exact
  a: 307200 0AdvFS # (Cyl. 0 - 74)
  b: 12582912 307201 swap # (Cyl.
75*- 3147*)
  c: 17772544 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 4338)
  d: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
  e: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
  f: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
  g: 3152795 14619749 AdvFS # (Cyl.
3569*- 4338)
  h: 1729636 12890113 AdvFS # (Cyl.
3147*- 3569*)

We need to reduce swap area to 5Gb, an add 1 Gb to the h partition.
I've shutdown to single user and I've tried to edit the partition table, but
system says that swap partition is in use. ¿How can I change this partition
size?
Other posibility is to create a new partition with 1Gb size so that I could
add the new partition/volume to file domain which now includes partition h.
¿Is this possible?, I mean, ¿Can I have five partitions?

Thanks for your attention.
