This is what I currently have :-

Filesystem      Size    Used    Avail   Capacity        Mounted on
----------      ----    ----    -----   --------        ----------
/dev/hda9       1.7GB   21MB    1.6GB   1%              /var
/dev/hda10      972MB   942MB   30MB    97%             /var/spool/imap


The above 2 partitions are the last 2 partitions on my filesystem. 

Since /var/spool/imap (hda10) is almost full and I have so much space
left on /var (hda9), I was thinking of backing up /var/spool/imap , then
delete the partition (hda10) and then increase the size of /dev/hda9 and
finally restoring /var/spool/imap to hda9.

My question is :-

Can I increase the size of /dev/hda9? If yes, how do I do it? Will it
destroy whatever data that's on hda9?

The server is running RH5.1

Thanks,
Clare
