But it was the root partition and I was running in single user mode. If that's a problem then the growfs man page should say so, or maybe it should be more clear about what is meant by "mounted". In any case, running it from the fixit floppy didn't work either (got a core dump), but that may be because it was already screwed up. So at minimum, there's a documentation bug (IMHO). -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Packet Design * http://www.packetdesign.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
