Hello, greetings from Portugal I'm i good customer of your operating system FreeBSD, i have it installed in several machines and im getting pretty happy with it's functionality. Now i have this problem, and would like to have some specialized help before do something that could destroy my system, that's this: When i first installed FreeBSD, version 2.1.7, i had only one hard drive, these are it's features: # disklabel -r sd0 # /dev/rsd0c: type: SCSI disk: sd0s1 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 246 sectors/unit: 3967992 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 65536 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 4*) b: 151680 65536 swap # (Cyl. 4*- 13*) c: 3967992 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 246*) e: 61440 217216 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 13*- 17*) f: 3689336 278656 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 17*- 246*) Now i wanted to add a new hard drive with similar features the main difference is that it has 4GigaBytes of space. I hadded it, it is already recognized as sd1 when i run sysinstall. Iīve not done any configuration regarding this hard drive. What i wanted to do was to enlarge the actual partitions wich are already full with no more space left, mainly /var. Is there any way i can expand the actual partitions to the new hard drive,or to move some partitions to the new hard drive and change the space reserved for the actual partitions without losing any data or destroying the filesystem? I donīt know if i was very clear i'll sumarize what i want: My system is full, i'm trying to add a new hard drive so i can fix this space problem, i don't want to change or loose data stored on the actual hard drive. If you could give me some help i really would apreciate it, thank you very much Mavilde Anjos Tel: +351 1 3183000 email: mavilde@cmn.comnexo.pt
