Maybe.. Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Ok, lets say when the next FreeBSD-R comes out, I'll want to upgrade (which I will, I've fallen in love with FreeBSD, It's far better than Linux or OpenBSD *IN MY OPINION*) anyhow.. I have a "partition/slice" on /dev/wd0s1g.. I'm a tad unfamiliar with how slices work.. My question is that if I reinstall/update a new FreeBSD release. Can I leave that slice wd0s1g untouched, yet still usable? It is a file storage slice, that I really don't have the drive space anymore to backup onto another drive.. So if I were to only make wd0s1[a/e/f] would it leave wd0s1g intact so I could just add it to my fstab after install? Yes I know this is a bit of a newbie question to ask, but I've only ever had to install FreeBSD once. (It worked on the first install! yay) So I have never had to upgrade or reinstall before.. Any help would be appreciated.
