You guys have any idea how to resize the slice ?
I have 2 HDs, both have already been increased (in VirtualBox). The BSD
partitioned scheme below doesn't see the newly allocated disk space,
only the GPT one.
camcontrol reprobe / gpart recover / etc doesn't do anything.
mars@fbsd11vm1:~ % gpart show
=> 0 83886080 ada0 BSD (40G)
0 4194304 1 freebsd-ufs (2.0G)
4194304 16777216 2 freebsd-ufs (8.0G)
20971520 62914559 4 freebsd-ufs (30G)
83886079 1 - free - (512B)
=> 40 104857520 ada1 GPT (60G) [CORRUPT]
40 12582912 1 freebsd-swap (6.0G)
12582952 92274608 2 freebsd-ufs (44G)
I think I might just have to dump/restore this to another GPT virtual HD
then.
Thanks.

But as the days unwind -- this I just can't believe,
I sent a message to another plane,
Maybe it's all a game -- but this I just can't conceive.

I met someone who looks at lot like you,
She does the things you do, but she is an IBM.
She's only programmed to be very nice,
But she's as cold as ice, whenever I get too near,
She tells me that she likes me very much,
But when I try to touch, she makes it all too clear.
...
I realize that it must seem so strange,
That time has rearranged, but time has the final word,
She knows I think of you, she reads my mind,
She tries to be unkind, she knows nothing of our world.
