When you do the disklabel, just increase the size of the g partition to take up all the space up 'til h starts [change the size to 10240000 = (54272000 - 44032000)]. And then (again, I recommend rebooting and double-checking first) run growfs on it. It should just work. DISCLAIMER: I've never used growfs. I have actually *done* the stuff I discussed my earlier message (actually I've done some harrier stuff than that) so I spoke from experience, but I only recently stumbled across growfs and have had no reason to use it yet. As always, back up everything before making changes of this nature! | | -Grant | | 63*) | | > | b: 2048000 1024000 swap # (Cyl. 63*- | > | 191*) c: 70766262 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. | | 0 - | | > | 4404*) | > | e: 10240000 3072000 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 191*- | > | 828*) f: 30720000 13312000 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. | | 828*- | | > | 2740*) | > | g: 2097152 44032000 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 2740*- | > | 2871*) | > | h: 16494262 54272000 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 3378*- | > | 4404*) -- Brian, the man from Babble-On . . . . bts@babbleon.org (personal) http://www.babbleon.org http://www.eff.org http://www.programming-freedom.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
