First of all, please don't top-post. Second, questions like this would be best on freebsd-questions. -chat is really just for chatting. But in any case, you really need to provide more details on what your actual problem is. motty cruz <motty.cruz@gmail.com> writes: > Thanks Lowell, I had left crucial information, > I'm using VMWare, so my FreeBSD machine is a virtual machine. I had use > gpart in the past for FreeBSD 9.1 but not for FreeBSD 8.0 gpart(8) *exists* in 8.0. I haven't been on 8.x in quite a while, but I can see that its manual says that gpart has been around since 7.0. If you haven't tried it, you can do that. If it doesn't work in your situation for some reason, fdisk(8) will still work as it always did. It's not as friendly as gpart(8) for expanding filesystems, but it can be done if you need, or let you set up another partition to mount somewhere on your existing filesystems. Or depending on how you want to use the space, sade(8) might be more helpful.
