" I am afraid no. Without a disk management software, like veritas VM or
" Disksuite, you can not grow file system on the fly. Instead u will have to
" use format then newfs. Take backup before doing it.

not entirely true.

without disk mgmt s/w the space must be contiguous, but if you resize
a partition to include following space on the disk, you can newfs -G
it to expand the ufs into the new space.
