You have to repartition the slice or drive to make it bigger and swap smaller, then use growfs to grow the file system. It's probably easier - and certainly safer - to move some things off of root via symlinks. Answering Cliff's question would help with that. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
