Good Day, There is free space at the end of my disk and I want to move /usr/ports do a dedicated partition. # disklabel /dev/ad10s1 # /dev/ad10s1: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 1024000 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 64008 b: 2252800 44032000 swap c: 368627427 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" d: 2048000 1024000 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 e: 20480000 3072000 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 f: 20480000 23552000 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 I want to add a g partition with 10 GByte to end. When I enter "disklabel -e /dev/ad10s1" vi opens and I add the following line to the end: g: 20480000 44032000 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 Upon saving I get an error that partitions "c" and "g" overlap. As far as I have read this is on purpose. How can I avoid the error message? I tried it via sysinstall but didn't work either. When saving the new disklabels I get "Unable to write data to disk ad10". I assume that is because ad10 is currently mounted? Thank you! Markus
