This is a problem that we had several months ago, and we solved it in.

We had a Novell 3.1 server in a Hewlett Pakard QS/20 with a ESDI hard Disk
of 108 MB, but we had to change the hard disk to a 670 MB SCSI disk, and qwe
found that in the Novell Installation manual dindn't have a section about this.
There are instructions on hwow to increase the volume size by ADDING another disk, but not
by changing it; so we installed it by making a backup of the whole disk,
including the opearating system and all the applications. And the copying them
to the new disk. This was ok, but some applications didn't work all right.
Does anybody knows how to do this in a civilazed form ?
i said civilazed becaiuse the way we did it ... well, I don't think it was
the optimal way. But it seems to work ok. We have now 4 months with aour scisi disk and we upgraded it  to the 3.11 version of Novell and it work's just fine.

I hope that sombody knows something about this.
Please reply to me directly, I will post all the answers.
