You could look at disk contatation, see gconcat(8) or striping, see gstripe(8). I'm not sure if this works for disk partitions, or if you need a complete disk for that. But this would require a backup of /usr, newfs-ing the concatenated device followed by restoring the backup. Another option would be to copy a large part of /usr, say /usr/local to the reformatted former winnt partition and mount it at /usr/local. Other directories could be moveed to the new partition and symlinked to their previous places. Roland --=20 R.F.
