I think "growfs" is newer, which is why I picked it. I looked in the "man page searcher" at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current Which apparently doesn't cover -current. It seems that growfs in the -current source tree, however, according to my local CVS mirror. I don't know how hard a compile it would be on an older version of FreeBSD; if not hard, you'd think it would have been merged back for the 4.3 release. I've used "fsresize" before (it's been around a _long_ time), but haven't used "growfs". I think I wouldn't run either of them on a machine where I had not backed up the data already, and which was running on a UPS so that the process doesn't get interrupted in a state which will screw me (I'm not confident that the operations are ordered so as to prrevent this, or restartable, in the event of an interruption).
