Jup, that works. Imagine my /var needs some more space, and I have
allocated that space for it on /dev/ad0s1f. Now, after having done a newfs
on that device, I'd do something like that:

mount /dev/ad0s1f /mnt
cd /var
cp -Rp * /mnt

After that, you can delete everything under /var, then unmount /dev/ad0s1f
and re-mount it at /var. That's all, now your /var has more space!

Greetings
Nils
