please somebody help me. I have a 700 Mb free space on wd1 and I want to move /usr/local there. with other unices I have made a mount <mynewpartition> /mnt and (cd /usr/local; tar cf - .)|(cd /mnt; tar xfv -) but I read the handbook and the faq and still cannot understand why a simple newfs /dev/wd1s2 does not work......what is disklabel and why should I use it? isnt there a simpler way? this /etc/disk* stuff is worse than editing a termcap;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
