Hi Dave,
gparted lets you non-destructively repartition the disk. If you plan to
repartition the root disk, then you should boot from a liveCD or
something similar.
Starting with version 1.4.8, you can have vicepX partitions larger than 2TB.
Hop onto the openafs irc channel on freenode or the jabber chatroom
openafs@conference.openafs.org for some live help.
