Subject:   Resizing disk labels
Message-ID:  <NFEBLNMJLPMABJMOEINDMEFECIAA.roland@thegreentree.org>

I have installed FreeBSD in a server with the default setting in the label
editor.  I hope my terminology is correct, since I'm refering to /etc /usr
etc.  Now I've installed a squid, KDE, DHCP, Java (not complete yet!),
Apache and some other stuff.  While installing Qmail, I ran out of disk
space on /etc. but /usr still has 17GB free.

How can I resize the "labels" so /etc grows to 1GB for example?  I've
searched all over and it appears that one can grow the size, but not shrink
it?

What I've really looking for is a tool like partitionmagic for FAT or NTFS.
Does such a tool exist and if not what are my options here?

Thanks

Roland Giesler
