X-Confirm-Reading-To: "Andrew Webster" X-pmrqc: 1 Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail v3.22 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Does anyone know how to add another partition on the same drive to a live 2.0.5 system? Under 2.0, you could run sysinstall again and go through the nice & easy creation of the partition, disk labeling, and actually making the file system, then quit the program. Under 2.0.5, the sysinstall utility doesn't allow this unless you Comit, but then it also wants to install stuff. The regular text based fdisk & disklabel (fdisk in particular) are much harder to use, especially with drives with >1024 cyls. Any help would be most welcomed! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Webster Network Manager / Special Projects Dataradio Inc. 200-5500 Royalmount Ave. TEL: +1 514 737 0020 Town of Mount Royal, QC, CANADA H4P 1H7 FAX: +1 514 737 7883 http://www.dataradio.com Email: awebster@dataradio.com
