Message-ID: <20000327190114.A39695@localhost.localdomain> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i X-Organization: Northwestern University X-Operating-System: FreeBSD localhost.localdomain 3.4-STABLE FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG If I were to be so bold as to repartition (i.e., have to wipe out the FreeBSD slice and start over again), what would be the most sane way of doing this? Would I have to back up all partitions with dump (could I do this onto a mounted Windows drive?), reinstall a minimal base system with the new partitioning scheme, and then restore the dumped files?
