So i got the developers preview of OSX Lion and decided to give it a try. I made a second partition of 30 gigs because i didnt know how well i would like Lion and i wanted it to have a foot footprint on my HD, well i love lion and i want to use it as my main OS. I tried to go to Disk Ultilty to resize that partition but i can only make it smaller and not bigger. Whats up with this and is there anything i can do about it?

Since Lion has not officially been published and you have a developer version, this is not the proper place to discuss this. If you are legally part of the beta team, then you have access to their forum where this should be posted.

Thanks for your understanding.
