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
