I set up a FreeBSD server when I knew a little about Unix. My problem is that the root slice is full. I do have another hard drive I can install. I need some information on how to add it to the root slice and mount it for FreeBSD and set it up correctly. Here is my hard drive setup now. > Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on > /dev/sd0s1a 497M 460M -3.1M 101% / > /dev/sd0s1e 3.3G 543M 2.5G 17% /usr > procfs 4.0k 4.0k 0 100% /proc > > I would like to be able to add another 4gb hard drive and split it to 2gb for / and 2 gb for /var. If anyone can help me so I don't destroy my data. Do you really need 497 M for your root partition? Nearly everything bulky goes into /usr. Many people get by with < 30 M for /. See what's taking up so much space in / -- the only things I can think of are /tmp and /var -- and try moving them to somewhere in /usr and symlinking them. You have 2.5 G spare there, so I doubt you'll have a problem. If you have /home (user areas) in /, move those also to /usr/home and symlink. Or if you're intent on adding the third disk, use /stand/sysinstall to set it up, but don't make that the new root: that would be way too complicated. Rahul.
