That was how I have figured out that my intial guess about the size of the root partition was wrong. The df output is: Disk status: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 49583 28226 17391 62% / /dev/ad0s1e 5842520 4071545 1303574 76% /usr procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc My problem now is to figure out where the ad0s1e partition starts, which I guess is after the swap partition, which I guess is after the ad0s1a partition for which I don't know its size. Isn't the gpart program ment to do the above (that is, to guess where a BSD partition begins/ends)? Any other idea is very much welcome. --- Oscar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
