Sorry; there isn't anything that will resize ffs filesystems. The quick solution until you can backup, repartition and retore, is to make symlinks from / into /usr. For example, symlink /tmp to /usr/tmp. Don't do this for /boot, /modules, /etc, /bin or /sbin though :) -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
