I want to free up the /usr area in which /home resides. Could I do this without losing the deleted /home I hope to recover by using dd to move the partition to another drive? -- Brian ----------------------------------------------- This message sent through Adam Internet Webmail http://www.adam.com.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
