Hi, When I was young and stupid ( :-) ) I partitioned my hard drive as: Offset Size(ST) End Name PType Desc Subtype Flags 0 63 62 - 6 unused 0 63 4188177 4188239 ad0s1 2 fat 6 4188240 1043280 5231519 ad0s2 3 freebsd 165 C 5231520 8179920 13411439 ad0s3 4 extended 5 13411440 8179920 21591359 ad0s4 3 freebsd 165 21591360 1980720 23572079 - 6 unused 0 What I didn't know at that time was that I could only have four partitions. The problem: I would like to extend ad0s4 to use all the space availble on the disk. Then I would like to use growfs to grow the filesystem on that partition ( /usr ) to use the newly created space in the partition. Is that possible? Last time I tried to change the partition size I ended up with the ad0s4 unreadable. I managed to restore it by restoring the original valus in the partition table. So, the question is: How do I resize a partition without loosing it? The use of growfs seems quite simple after that initial problem is solved. regards, jonas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
