Hi, I have one computer running FreeBSD 2.2.7 and I'll update to FreeBSD 3.3.1 soon. It's very interesting the utility Vinum volume manager, but what is it? is it a port? where can I get more information about it? Any information would be very interesting, thanks in advance. -----Mensaje original----- De: Wes Peters [mailto:wes@softweyr.com] Enviado el: jueves 22 de abril de 1999 2:18 Para: rosteen@elpn.com Cc: freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Asunto: Re: more space please rosteen wrote: > > Hello, > How would one with Freebsd OS change over to a bigger drive on a > particular server? > It's more like what is the preferred/easiest method so that all configs > can be transferred with little to no effort. If you're running 3.1 or above, you could stick the new drive in your system, slice it up as needed, and add the new space to the existing filesystems with Vinum volume manager. Otherwise, my suggestion would be to put the new drive in the system, run sysinstall on it, they copy the files from the existing disk to the new one before removing the original disk. I usually just wait until the next upgrade to switch drives and do a fresh install on the new drive, but I'm a masochist. I wonder what it would take to get PowerQuest to add BSD ufs to Partition Magic? -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
