Anyone know of a way to increase a sparse file disk? For example I create a 4 gig sparse file, format it with a filesysystem, add some data. Now I want to go back and increase the size to 8 gig without losing any data.


Thanks,
Glen
Besides tarballing the data up, storing it elsewhare, then deleting the partition, rebuilding it, and putting the data back on it?
