I have a machine which I have recently upgraded using cvsup, from 4.x to RELENG_5, as a staging post en route to 7.x. The upgrade went well until installworld ran out of disk on / and I realised it was only 64BMB. My bad; should have checked before upgrading. With help from an on-site colleague the installworld was nursed to completion. But can I get the same machine up to 6.x or 7.x without repartitioning? Advice please. Partitions are as follows. ad0 2439 M ad0s1 2439 M ad0s1a 64 M / ad0s1b 128 M swap ad0s1e 1024 M /var ad0s1f 600 M /home ad0s1g 623 M - ad1 57259 M ad1s1 57259 M ad0s1a 10240 M /usr It occurs to me that if ad0s1a is insufficient then I could use ad0s1g as swap, and repurpose ad0s1b as a new /. Is it straightforward to installworld/mergemaster to somewhere other than / ? Nick B
