Hi there,

Now I have the following problem. 

I recently installed FreeBSD 4.3 RELEASE on a production server, but, as I was in a hurry, I used defaults for disk dividing to various mount points. So, the /var is 20 MBytes, which, as far as I'm concerned, is not too many for a mail server :-)

Is there any way to change it? Again, I am asking this question after sitting at manual and man pages but I guess I simply don't know, where to look. 

I want to know, is there a way to add a new slice ( something like /dev/da0s1a ) on the existing drive without reformatting it.

Wbrgds,
