Can I also resize the / partition to fi= ll > the hole left by /usr ? You should first fdisk, label, and newfs the 4.3GB HD. You may use /stand/= sysinstall to do this, or the command line utilities. See http://www.freeb= sd.org/handbook/disks-adding.html for more information. Don't make an /etc= /fstab entry for it yet unless you really want to. Now, drop down into single-user mode. (The command "shutdown now" will wor= k) Make sure all of the partitions on your 773Mb HD are mounted read/write. M= ount the 4.3GB HD on something like /mnt or /new. Assuming you mount it as= /new, issue this command to copy the existing /usr to the /new: tar cf - -C /usr . | tar xvf - -C /new Now, edit /etc/fstab so that /usr gets automatically mounted from the new 4= .3GB drive. Then umount /new and umount /usr, then mount /usr (Since you m= odified /etc/fstab already. it knows that "mount /usr" means to mount the 4= .3GB drive on /usr). Do a "df" to confirm that the right drive is mounted,= then I'd recommend rebooting the computer just to make sure it comes up th= e way you expect it to. I'm not sure about resizing the root partition to absorb the old /usr. =20 -Ben --xB0nW4MQa6jZONgY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6iD4dlLyqskZtc9ERAkXJAJ9tqZQMreL0qbJiyi9mzzws4Is47gCfZHEn ZGVmq1uuTzqpUvP404ZMcK4= =Awsr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --xB0nW4MQa6jZONgY-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
