Hi,

Unfortunately it isn't possible and even if you find a way to do it, I'm pretty sure that Check Point wouldn't support your configuration.

Why do you need to resize it?

Cheers,

Tan

Best thing to do is perform an upgrade export of your splat box for the Check Point, delete the partition create a larger one and then reinstall SPLAT onto the bigger partition, importing the Check Point configuration.

SPLAT doesn't give you any partitioning tools as the idea is to make the PC it is on into an appliance where it takes care of the partitioning for you, based upon the hardware available to the machine when you install SPLAT.

I always just use one disk ( or a disk mirror if the hardware is supported ) and let SPLAT take care of the disk arrangement for me as Check Point intended.

Even under full linux I find partition resizing to be a bit messy, although probably as don't really do that much of it.
