I have succesfully shrunk a FreeBSD partitition by: 1: Booting single user with all but / unmounted 2: Using dd to move (track by track) /usr and /var partitions down enough tracks to shrink my swap partition. I still have the shell script for this if you want to try this. 3: disklabel -e and very carefully put the new right information in. 4: Reboot and pray (one typo and you are hosed well and truly) This depends on the fact that the swap partition contains nothing of value. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Steve O'Hara-Smith Date: 20-Apr-99 Time: 17:38:37 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
