Hello,
I installed a FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE into a virtual machine (with virtual
box), using a GTP partitioning scheme, and zfs. The virtual disk disk
is 10 Go.
I dumped this disk image to a real machine, which has a 160 Go disk.
The system works fine, but I can only use 10 Go of disk space. How can
I gain more space ?
How can I enlarge the last partition of the disk to use the whole disk ?
I tried to create a new partition on the disk, and planned to add it
in the zfs pool, but that didn't work :
# gpart add -t freebsd-zfs -l disk0f ad0
gpart: autofill: No space left on device
That's odd, because it seems that gpart is aware of the new geometry.
What's the problem ?
Some info :
