I just dd'ed the FreeBSD 9.3 RELEASE memstick image onto a 4 GB USB drive. When I mount it, it shows 101% full, w/ about 717 MB of stuff. The NetBSD folks often (for Raspberry Pi, for example) recommend & provide examples of how to mess with the partition table after dd'ing to restore 'full' USB drive capacity as noted by df w/o messing up any of the other data in the stick. Is this feasible under FreeBSD ? If so, has anyone tried/done it ? How did it go :-) ? Care to post your commands that worked :-) ? TIA & have a good one .... -- William A.
