Does FreeBSD support any tools that can dynamically repartition a drive while preserving the data in those partitions (assuming there's enough free space in the new partition layout)? I have a FreeBSD 4.2 machine with one drive and I'd like to add more swap space (I'm getting lots of messages saying "/kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed" and lots of processes saying "was killed: out of swap space"). I couldn't find any entries in the FAQ or the Handbook to address this. I found a post in the list archives to create another swap file, but it also warned that it isn't as efficient as a "native swap partition". Also, even if I created more swap files, is there a way to instruct the swapper to first use the swap partition, then use the swap file? Any pointers are appreciated, thanks! -- Eugene Lee eugene@anime.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
