For example you have full /home and you have for example user joe who filled /home :-( Then You can use tell joe remove unnesseary files, if he won't do this then remove random joe's files by youself :-) Or, if you are joe :-) or joe is your emploeer :-) you can 1) tell joe buy large hard disk 2) mount /dev/some_big_partition /mnt 3) copy all files from /home/joe to /mnt 4) remove all files in /home/joe 5) umount /mnt 6) mount /dev/some_big_partition /home/joe In general, _I_ don't know way enlarge partition size without losing data , except if you backup this data somewhere else . -- Igor Roboul, Unix System Administrator & Programmer @ sanatorium "Raduga", Sochi, Russia http://www.brainbench.com/transcript.jsp?pid=304744 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
