My vendor is reluctant to replace my drive while I'm running FreeBSD because it is not a supported OS, so I'd rather just sacrifice 48k of my HD or something and have a working system than dump FreeBSD (I'll get a new drive at some point to add to the current setup, and will replace the old one then.) Any help would be appreciated (reslicing isn't really an option at this point, as I'm running a pop mail server for a large numnber of people, a web site, and a name server.) Thanks..
