I'd love to see a quick start guide as well, 900 pages of manual can be a bit daunting, however, once you dive in, it doesn't seem so bad, it's just a bit scary at the start is all.

Where do I find a "new user" oriented technical help list? I am now on the -questions list for the third time, the volume of mail is incredible, and following threads is entirely beyond me there, as most subject lines are meaningless to me, I have such a low understanding of the technical stuff. And the man pages and other documentation assumes knowledge not in evidence to me. In other words, can't make heads or tails of them, either.

Remeber to take backups :) Have you tried man growfs yet ? Welcome to the community :) Andy -------Original Message------- From: Jeff LaMarche Date: 12/12/2003 12:51:56 PM To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: growfs question Okay, I've got FreeBSD 4.8-Stable running, and I've run out of room on / I've looked around, and I think (in theory) that I can use growfs to increase the size of / since the contiguous slice is /tmp, from which I can sacrifice some space. Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 128990 127684 -9012 108% / /dev/ad0s1f 257998 1254 236106 1% /tmp /dev/ad0s1g 18359694 5072672 11818248 30% /usr /dev/ad0s1e 257998 8384 228976 4% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc Problem is, I'm not quite sure how to do it, and scared of messing up my system in the process. Has anyone attempted something similar?
