How to repartition the FreeBSD ? Scenario : Just freed up 120 M HD space from FAT (using Partition Magic). Wanted to add this space to FreeBSD. Create new FreeBSD partition through the /stand/sysinstall disk slice menu, created wd0s4 (current is wd0s2 - BSD , wd0s1 - FAT). Mount the wd0s4e as /usr/X11R6. Exit sysinstall and reboot. wd0s4e not initialized. Using mount then the directory appeared. Install XF86, next reboot everything gone, system got screwed up and I reinstall the OS, but now incorporating the new slice in the wd0s2 family. Is there a better way to do this ? Clear, complete explanation of how these things work is most appreciated. Other comments are welcome. Anyone recommend any book on the explanation of how BSD OS works (specially in handling disk, initialization, and system oriented things). I've looked at the FreeBSD's bibliography, and the 4.4 BSD system administrator's guide from O'Reilly looks very promising. Anyone have other comments on this ? Thank you. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
