Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 97M 62M 27M 70% / /dev/da0s1e 7.7G 6.2G 900M 88% /usr /dev/ad0s1e 72G 66G 772M 99% /home procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /proc So I'm booting off of a SCSI disk da0. I want to replace ad0s1e with the new 300GB monster. > These will move with the disk.

But not in my case since this disk is just storage I think, right. Actually, when I run the disklabel do I need to use -B at all. I don't need a bootstrap since its not a boot disk, right? Thanks, Alex
