X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 02 May 2003 14:21:14 -0000 Due to poor planning I've got a hunk of disk space at the end of the disk that I need to give to a partition coming BEFORE my BSD slice. | windows | extended windows | bsd | free space | Is it safe to move my BSD slice toward the end of the disk with Partition Magic? The partition IDs won't change, but I have no idea if there is anything in the filesystem that is sensitive to physical location. Will I have to do any preparation or will this just work? thanks, Steve Tremblett
