Hi, I have a question re reducing a filesystem in FreeBSD 6.2 - I am new to FreeBSD - I am use to AIX We have FreeBSD installed on a dell 1950 - I would like to reduce the size of /usr in case I want to added the space to another file system. We currently have all our space allocated as follows. Here is the set-up $ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/mfid0s1a 1.9G 59M 1.7G 3% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/mfid0s1d 1.9G 14K 1.8G 0% /tmp /dev/mfid0s1f 58G 3.2G 50G 6% /usr /dev/mfid0s1e 1.9G 58M 1.7G 3% /var $ mount /dev/mfid0s1a on / (ufs, local) devfs on /dev (devfs, local) /dev/mfid0s1d on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/mfid0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/mfid0s1e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) In AIX I can reduce the filesystem on the fly - however I don't think I can do that with FreeBSD from what I have seen and I am not sure how this would be done consdering it is /usr I would like to reduce. I am currently looking at google to see what I can find. Any Suggestions you have would be helpful.
