Trying to enlarge a partition (/usr) on a slice (da0s1) with plenty of
space:
# fdisk
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5), (FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 63, size 1171861362 (572197 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
# df -h:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a 193M 80M 98M 45% /
/devfa 1.0K 1.0K 98M 0% /dev
/dev/da0s1d 193M 5.9M 172M 3% /var
/dev/da0s1e 1.9G 670M 1.1G 37% /usr
But when I try:
# umount /usr
# growfs /dev/da0s1e
I get:
growfs: we are not growing (1048576 -> 0)
What am I missing? The /stand/sysinstall program had some problems with
a large /usr partition as well; when I tried installing the system
giving /usr all the remaining space on my disk, the installation would
choke during the fetch and install from ftp. How can I take advantage
of the remaning free space on my disk?
