After giving it some more thinking, I also think this is not possible. The kernel image itself is in the store (and must be, because you can have several system generations, each using a different kernel). Same with initrd images. I have finally moved the whole root to a bigger disk, not much different to moving the store as root size (aside from the store) is rather small. Thanks! Carlos
