IE, is there a way I can just reset the beginning partition offset (ie for amrd1c or amrd1s2c) and everything else just "moves to the left", or do I have to re- calculate all the numbers and re-create the whole disklabel from scratch? If the latter I have a feeling something will go wrong. (As it is, I rarely use disklabel, I usually use the more user-friendly version in sysinstall instead.) Here's part of the output of "disklabel -r /dev/amrd1s2": [...] 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 409600 417690 4.2BSD 2048 16384 97 # (Cyl. 26 - 51*) b: 1024000 827290 swap # (Cyl. 51*-115*) c: 17510850 417690 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 26 - 1115) e: 2048000 1851290 4.2BSD 2048 16384 90 # (Cyl. 115*- 242*) f: 2048000 3899290 4.2BSD 2048 16384 90 # (Cyl. 242*- 370*) g: 11981250 5947290 4.2BSD 2048 16384 89 # (Cyl. 370*- 1115*) partition c: partition extends past end of unit Warning, partition c dosn't start at 0!
