When partitioning the drive, I took the defaults -- which seems to create a root partition that's too small. I'm at 59% usage, and every time I install a new kernel I have to rm /boot/kernel.old to get it to go. Two questions: 1. Is there an easy way to resize partitions? 2. Is there anything in root I could safely symlink off to another partition? Here's a df: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad4s1a 507630 273388 193632 59% / devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev /dev/ad4s1e 507630 18 467002 0% /tmp /dev/ad4s1f 463086528 21941374 404098232 5% /usr /dev/ad4s1d 4848462 201194 4259392 5% /var and here's du -x /: 2 /.snap 1 /dev 2 /tmp 2 /usr 2 /var 56 /etc/defaults 6 /etc/X11 8 /etc/bluetooth 8 /etc/devd 4 /etc/gnats 6 /etc/gss 252 /etc/mail 74 /etc/mtree 38 /etc/pam.d 56 /etc/periodic/daily 6 /etc/periodic/monthly 40 /etc/periodic/security 14 /etc/periodic/weekly 118 /etc/periodic 4 /etc/ppp 396 /etc/rc.d 36 /etc/security 2 /etc/skel 144 /etc/ssh 12 /etc/ssl 2 /etc/zfs 1742 /etc 2 /cdrom 2 /dist 1180 /bin 24 /boot/defaults 2 /boot/firmware 249960 /boot/kernel 310 /boot/modules 2 /boot/zfs 251788 /boot 354 /lib/geom 7628 /lib 1010 /libexec 2 /media 8 /mnt 2 /proc 4464 /rescue 2 /root/.gem/ruby/1.8/cache 2 /root/.gem/ruby/1.8/doc 2 /root/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems 2 /root/.gem/ruby/1.8/specifications 10 /root/.gem/ruby/1.8 12 /root/.gem/ruby 14 /root/.gem 4 /root/.config 10 /root/bin 74 /root 5452 /sbin 273379 / Any help much appreciated. -- Sterling (Chip) Camden | camdensoftware.com | chipstips.com | chipsquips.com
