Is it possible to resize Solaris (8) partition and move it?

807559Mar 29 2005 — edited Oct 23 2005

Hi,
I have a multiboot machine (w2k, RH9, Solaris8), on which solaris partition has some extra space. I need to resize Solaris (shrink it) and also move its location on the disk so that I can use the extra space by expanding the linux root partition.

Is this possible without a solaris reinstall? I don't have the CD's and reinstalling is not an option.

Can this be done using some of the partition tool and disk editors?

Any pointers will be appriciated!
