Hi! When I first installed FreeBSD, my system's BIOS was recognising my 3.2GB drive as only 1GB. Now I've flash upgraded by BIOS and it and FreeBSD correctly identify it as a 3.2GB unit. However, FreeBSD still only uses the first GB, since that was the 'whole disk' when it was installed. Is it possible to extend FreeBSD's slice to use the whole disk? How will that effect the BSD partitions? Will they just each get doubled in size? Or will I need to treat this new slice as a new HDD? Many thanks, I checked the Handbook, FAQ and mailing list archives. But all I could find was information relevant to adding a completely new drive. Thanks again! -- Andrew Boothman <andrew@boothman.easynet.co.uk> http://www.boothman.easynet.co.uk/andrew/ Do you what the government to have access to the nation's encrypted files? http://www.stand.org.uk/ Take a stand!
