i'm actually preparing to do this exact thing. my /usr is full also i've bought a new drive. gonna put it in, and create a new slice and mount as /usr_new then, just copy (using technique of your choice) /usr to /usr_new then, you can simply edit /etc/fstab and swap /usr_new for /usr then reboot (or you can do the switch manually and not have to reboot) that's it i've done it before and its the most straightforward/painless procedure to "resize" full slices (for me at least) good luck! nathan Derrick Yu wrote: > Dear all, > > Can someone list me the steps of how to enlarge my /usr/ partition by adding > a new drive? or is it possible to do that? > Thanks guys, > > Derrick Yu > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
