fix

Within NetWare there is no way to resize and existing NetWare volume. You can try to do this through 3rd party software such as PowerQuest Server Magic 3.0. (NOTE: If you use this, make sure that you have a current backup of the server as changing Volume partition tables can result in the loss of the volume). The second option is backup all data on existing volume, delete the volume, recreate it with desired size, and restore all data from backup.

**There is no way to REDUCE the size of a NetWare volume. In newer versions of netware you can increase the size by adding segments, storage groups, or pools.
