Hi, I need to create a POPSTARTER partition named __.POPS on an internal HDD which for whatever reason I can't seem to do from the PS2 itself. I could do a quick test to see if this works. If I understand correctly, I would do it like this?

mkpart __.POPS 20G PFS

to create a 20 GB partition of the PFS filesystem named __.POPS , is that correct? Do I even need the PFS at the end though?

Now, where will it get the space from for this? Will it resize the other partitions that have available space to make room? And what happens if I later on decide I want a larger partition? Is there a "resizepart" command? and is there a command to copy a partition from one drive to another if I want to back things up before trying?
