Summary: Question on T64-v5.1PK3 AdvFS addvol error

    Several folks sent replies, the first from Dr. Tom Blinn (many thanks!).
It turns out I had set the offset on the h partition just a tad too high and
did not notice the difference in numbers on the disklabel information. I
was able to edit the disklabel and lower the offset value for the h
partition
and then addvol that to cluster_var with no problem. Unlike the stand-alone
system, it's wonderful that I can also addvol for cluster_root. With the
help Dr. Tom and others on the list sent, I'm going to be able to replace
my 4Gb root, usr, var disk with a 9Gb disk, using a spare disks that is
in the configuration without rebooting.
                                        Thanks again! Jenny
