With disklabel -Bw da1 auto you create a new label on it (including bootstrap). Then, edit the label with disklabel -e da1 Create partitions as you like. (Consult the manpage for "sunlabel(8)" if you are unsure.) Create filesystems for these partitions. Mount them. Copy over each of the old file system's contents to the new mountpoint, like cd /mnt/usr dump 0af - /usr | restore rf - (When done, you can remove the files named "restoresymtab" that have been created in each new filesystem. They are only needed when you are going to subsequently copy an incremental backup on top of the level 0 one.) -- cheers, Joerg .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
