If you modify the size of the /usr partition (partition, not slice although I suppose you could also have made a separate dedicated slice for /usr and just put the one partition in it), you will need to reinstall. But, if you have extra space somewhere, you can create a swapfile there and have it added to your total swap space. see man swapfile -- which gets you the vnconfig(8) man page because that is how you do it. ////jerry > /Mikael > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
