Subject: help on newfs and a new partition
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

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;-)
