Two ways to go about it unless you just happened to leave a lot of space contiguously following the current partition that you mount as /usr (not very likely). Then you could try growfs. But, presuming the more normal situation: One: you can back up everything on the disk, rebuild the whole disk to whatever sizes you want and then use the live cd to reload the backups. Make sure you make the disk bootable when you redo it. Two: you can move some stuff such as /usr/local and/or /usr/ports to some disk partition where you have lots of extra space and make soft links to it/them. That way you don't really have to redo the disk. I have posted sample instructions for doing this several times in this list, even recently. So, check the list archives. ////jerry > > Thanks > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
