Hello, I have a Windows 2003 r2 x64bit enterprise cluster that has SAN disks
that are the cluster drives.
My customer wants to expand a SAN disk partition that is made up on 1 large
san disk (303gb) that is carved up into 4 disks:

L:\50gb
T:\50gb
X:\101gb
Z:\101gb

my question is can I use DISKPART to add 10gb of newly added SAN space to
the T:\drive . I can see the partitions listed when I look via DISKPART.

Thanks for any help.

diskpart can only extend a partition within a disk if the freespace is
just after the partition to extend.

This limit is over in 2008, where you can even shrink while the system
is loaded.
