After starting the make installworld part of the 3.4S ->4.0S cvsup update, I ran out of space in my / directory. Even after moving and symlinking a number of directories, I am still faced with the fact that a 32Meg partition is too small. Is there a moderated, approved, FreeBSD way to move all the data off the / directory and move it to another [ /usr/stor1/temp , in my case; I used cp -R -P -pv /* /usr/stor1/temp # stor1 is another slice] directory, deleting, adding to and reformatting the slice with the partition and label editor, and dumping the data back onto the newly enlarged / partition? Could someone point me to directions (detailed, I'm afraid... *newbie alert*) for accomplishing this? brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
