My original install of FreeBSD is on a 30 gig hard drive, I want to move it to an 80 gig I now have, but i don't want to have to reinstall everything since I've spent hours waiting for some ports to install. So after googling and searching I found a few ideas of how to migrate to a new hard drive but none which I really trust, (ghosting, acronis(sp?)) If I do move it over will I have ot make new slices to take advantage of the bigger hard drive? If this is the case will I lose what data is already in the slice or can it adjust without any hitches or loss of data? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
