X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 13 May 2004 00:51:23 -0000 Hello Is there any easy way to shrink a freebsd partition? When I created the slice (I think it is called) I used the complete drive. I need some space to create another partition and do not wish to reinstall FBSD. This machine has been up and running for sometime and to do a reinstall would be a big pain. I have tried partition majic then reading some info online it does not look like it can handle the job. I am running 4.8 Stable. Any info would be great. Thanks Chris
