I think you should at least take a backup before resizing anything regardless if there is any mechanism that allows you to do it without a full restore. With regards to the resizing, for UFS there is a program called 'growfs' but I think there are few users who used it, so potentially it could use more time if you decided to use it :( Cheers, - -- Xin LI http://www.delphij.net/ FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkgaohIACgkQi+vbBBjt66C59gCeLpXiiSBDsWAHVFYnDuTIlJL0 qcgAoLHecEJYpS0W6VkXLwwteDG58UjB =FKXm -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
