The server is running Netware 3.12 on an 8 gig drive with all but the small dos partition being a single Netware partition. There is only one volume and it is only about 3 gigs. How can I expand the volume to take advantage of the entire 8 gigs? Preferrably without formatting and reloading from scratch. BTW, it does have the OS2 long name feature set up. Thank you for any help you can give.

It has been a while since 3.12, you can use the INSTALL option. Create a new volume and add it to the current volume. See the following at:
