Hi, Thanks to all help I've received thus far, I seem to be getting closer to my goal of backing up a small hard disk to a large one. Remember that the "dump" command is causing core dumps on the source volume. The two paths I'm working within are: 1) Using g4u to clone disk (this has worked fine), using growfs to grow partitions 2) Trying dump/restore from a Freesbie CD. Problems: Approach 1: To use growfs apparently you have to edit the disk labels first. I'm doing this through /stand/sysinstall, but I'm not seeing all of my available space - just the available space with what was in the smaller drive. How do I work around this? Approach 2: Doing a dump from /mnt/ufs.x to /mnt/ufs.y from the Freesbie CD produces the error "unsupported file system". How do i work around this error?
