What is the best way to move everything from one partition (not slice) to another, larger partition? I was looking at 'cp -pR', but that doesn't quite do it right - hard-linked files become multiple copies. As long as I'm posting... I was just looking at a disk with the disklabel editor in sysinstall, and saw this: Part Mount Size Newfs ---- ----- ---- ----- da0s1a <none> 64MB * da0s1b swap 320MB SWAP da0s1e <none> 64MB * da0s1f <none> 1024MB * da0s1g <none> 10240MB* da0s1h <none> 10240MB* If I were to create another partition on that disk, it would become da0s1d. Is it normal for 'd' to be the last partition created, or did I somehow do something strange to make it work out that way?
