I left about 26GB free on my 80GB hard drive. Having found a use for that space, I now want to add a partition. I've not added one by hand, and /stand/sysinstall gives me a 'cannot write to ...' message, so I want confirmation that what I'm about to do won't crump on me. ;] System is two 80GB ATA hard drives on a 'Promise PDC20269 UDMA133 controller' (according to dmesg), with one on each channel (both master). I'm running software raid using atacontrol. My current partition table follows: #v+ dave[tigger]~> sudo bsdlabel ar0s1 # /dev/ar0s1: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 1048576 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 8 b: 2097152 1048576 swap c: 156296322 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 73400320 30408704 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28544 e: 2097152 3145728 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 f: 12582912 5242880 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 g: 12582912 17825792 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 #v- To use up the unused space, I believe I need to add the following line: #v+ h: 52487298 103809024 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 #v- Could someone who's done that before confirm whether that looks right?
