Do you mean partition as in "I have separate partitions for Windows and FreeBSD", or do you mean partition as in "I want to grow /usr to be larger"? If the lesser: there are commercial utilities out there (such as Partition Magic) which let you "resize" partitions. However, I cannot stress this enough: *back up all of your data* before doing this. I have been bit by bugs in PQMAGIC *twice* in my lifetime (the program panic'ing at 99% and causing me to lose all of my data). If the latter: some people will tell you about growfs(8), but I'm not sure how reliable it is. You'll need to become familiar with bsdlabel(8) and fdisk(8) before you can use that. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
