I have an existing FreeBSD v4.7 installation and want to delete a small filesystem that I had designated for email (/var/mail), and want to freeup that unused space to the '/usr/home' filesystem. If I use DISKLABEL to delete '/var/mail', and then re-write '/usr/home' to reflect the added space (writing the changes to the SAME '/usr/home' partition), will that erase the '/usr/home' filesystem and all of its user-data contents from the disk itself???
