Here's the situation. I have a machine that has a 540 MB hard drive. I'm running out of room on the /usr slice (partition?). It's fine as long as I don't try and download any of the source, but in order to make this box a headless one (cf my previous postings) I need to recompile the loader, and maybe even have to do a "make world" (I'm still researching that part. I hope not, because it would probably take days on this 486). Problem is I can't download the all the sources I need because the /usr partition is running out of space. Lucky me, I've got some extra hard drives around. I can toss a second drive in, around 800 MB or so, and add it to the system. Then I can store my /usr/src files there. So here's the questions: 1) How do you add a drive to a FreeBSD machine? Does the kernel have to be recompiled? 2) When I have the new drive in and set up, how can I relocate my /usr/src files to the new larger slice on the second drive? My thought was this: mv the files currently in /usr/src to a temp directory, like /usr/srctemp. Then edit fstab to mount the new slice to /usr/src and mv the files from srctemp into the new src directory. Is this the right approach?
