Hi all, I am a relative newbie to UNIX, going from being an ex-Windows user to being an X Windows user! ;-) I recently got FreeBSD installed on an older PC with a 3 GB drive and a 5 GB drive (which has not yet been mounted). The system is installed on the 3 GB drive, but my current partition table is inadequate to my needs. Here is the output of df -H: /dev/ad0s1a 260M 254M -15.3M 106% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/ad0s1f 3.4G 1.6G 1.6G 51% /usr /dev/ad0s1e 260M 14M 225M 6% /var As you can see /dev/ad0s1a is dangerously full, and I hadn't finished installing applications yet (it got this full as I was compiling/installing Pine). Is there a way to change the partition table to allocate more space to /dev/ad0s1a? Sounds like a job for fdisk, but "man fdisk" leave me none the wiser on how to proceed with this. I've checked the online handbook too. Can anyone point me to a guide on this process or give me some pointers? TIA!
