Larger USR Partition

I recently purchased a IIci with A/UX 1.1.1 on the internal 80 meg drive.
After trying several combinations, I finally got A/UX happily transferred to
my external LaCie 105 meg drive. Unfortunately, the partitions on the 105 meg
drive are identical to those on the 80 meg drive. I'd like to expand the
partition containing the /usr portion of the file system, but I'm not sure
what's involved here. LaCie's SilverLining software certainly has no problem
with increasing the partition size, but I know A/UX needs to have its file
system informed of the fact.

Since I spent ALL the bucks on the machine, and not the A/UX manuals, can
someone give me a hint what I need to do? I suspect it's something along the
line of "run the partition off to tape, increase the partition size on the
disk, make a new file system, restore from tape....". But, I'm not sure of
the specifics on "remaking" the file system. Please reply here or E-Mail to:
