I happened to be playing with one of my LAN servers after upgrading to 
FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE, and noticed the following:

[root@poppy:~]# mount -p
/dev/wd0s1a     /       ufs rw  1 1
/dev/wd0s1f     /tmp    ufs rw  2 2
/dev/wd0s1g     /usr    ufs rw  2 2
/dev/wd0s2e     /usr/home       ufs rw,nosuid   2 2
/dev/wd0s1e     /var    ufs rw,nosuid   2 2
procfs  /proc   procfs rw       0 0

then:
[root@poppy:~]# df
Filesystem      1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0s1a         49583    40931     4686    90%    /
/dev/wd0s1f         99183      217    91032     0%    /tmp
/dev/wd0s1g       1524425  1193656   208815    85%    /usr
/dev/wd0s2e       2179530   482494  1522674    24%    /usr/home
/dev/wd0s1e         99183    13448    77801    15%    /var
procfs                  4        4        0   100%    /proc

Now, I'm not the guy who installed FreeBSD on this machine and I can't for 
the life of me figure why the guy before me set aside 99MB for /tmp. As you 
can see, only a couple of hundred KB are being used while my root directory 
is 90% full -- and that only because I deleted the /modules.old directory.

Is there any way I can change the size of the slices that were set up 
during the initial installation? It would be really nice if I could split 
up /dev/wd0s1f and assign the space to / and /usr.
