rreport gagging on lockfile

[John Esak]

Ah, thanks.  But don't feel bad.  As far as I know, once there is data on
some file systems... You can't modify a divvy table.  At least, not that I
can imagine. You'd have to be absolutley certain that the remaining space
was contiguous and unused of course, and then maybe you could add
something... But extending the end of one partition after data has been
there.... Well, come to think of it, I suppose you could exactly calculate
the last block to use from the previous last block, couldn't you?  Boy,
exactly the thing I would hate to do without some Partition Magic tool or
some really good backups.  :-)
