Hi,
I've just up-graded to 2.2.5 from 2.1.0 and need to take advantage
of the new support for extended partitions but can anyone tell me if it
is possible to install a UFS filesystem on an extended partition?.
I need to create some more disk space for FreeBSD but, as I run
multiple OS's, I've already reached the four partition limit (3 primary
and 1 extended) so can't create another primary. I've tried 'newfs'
(with '-N') but it doesn't seem to like it.
Alternatively, is it possible to extend the size of the existing
FreeBSD partition (a la Partition Magic)?. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
Mark Ovens
