Hello, I am adding a new disk to the system to make my /home partition bigger. Currently I have /home on ad0s1e. I will be adding ad1s1e. After I copy all the data from ad0 to ad1 I want to remove ad0 and make ad1 the master on that controller. Will I need to change the disklabel of ad1 to ad0 at that point, or will FreeBSD automagically know what to do? Note that this is all on the second controller, so no booting happening here. Just /home data. uname -a FreeBSD xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.com 4.9-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p2 #1: Tue Jun 8 19:15:51 PDT 2004 xxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DUALP3-RELENG_4_9 i386 Thanks, Alex
