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?
