I had my mail partition overfill (well, almost -- 99%) and I am thinking about adding another drive (or drives) in to put in the same partition. (/mail). So the question is: do I have to enter the /sys/standinstall to do this or do I have to use the commands of the freebsd manually. If I do it, will the current information on the /mail partition be retained or do I need to back it up? I guess it's not really a partition, but a volume that I am talking about (at least novell would call it a volume) but this is my first unix box so far.
