When i first installed FreeBSD 4.1 i was just playing around with it and used the defaults in the installed.. defaults partitions and such... one thing led to another now i pretty much rely on this machine for all of my home connections/communications.. everything. Problem is my root / is near 80% full. This is on a 20 gig HDD and i think the default / was set to like 50 megs. Question : is there any way short of reinstalling fbsd or buying a second HDD to increase/repartition my / ? I have done some research on the matter and have only found a couple of articles both involving a second hdd. Am i screwed or what? I guess i can clean out some temp files and such but that is really a temporary solution. thanks guys.
