> How did you used disk/prep?
I ran 'disk/prep -bw -a^(9fat nvram fossil swap) /dev/sdE1/plan9'.
When I ran it, my old disk was sdE0 and the new was sdE1. Now I notice
the layout prep created is identical on both disks!
su# disk/prep /dev/sdE0/plan9 # old
9fat 0 204800 (204800 sectors, 100.00 MB)
nvram 204800 204801 (1 sectors, 512 B )
fossil 204801 389668226 (389463425 sectors, 185.71 GB)

Will this work:
1. boot off the old disk (/dev/sdE0/plan9)
2. disk/prep /dev/sdE1/plan9
- delete swap and fossil
- create a new fossil at the same offset as the old one but bigger
- write changes
3. mount /dev/sdE1/fossil
I am trying to find a way to resize /dev/sdE1/fossil without losing
the existing data on it.
