Re: Expanding a partition -adding a hard drive
by Amy on Wednesday January 22, @06:59AM

I am trying to add 2nd hard drive to my Freebsd box. My problem is to get space back from my old hard drive. Here is my ad0.
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 262144 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 94 # (Cyl. 0 - 16*)
b: 951616 262144 swap # (Cyl. 16*- 75*)
c: 78156162 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 4864*)
e: 8388608 1213760 4.2BSD 2048 16384 89 # (Cyl. 75*- 597*)
f: 204800 9602368 4.2BSD 2048 16384 97 # (Cyl. 597*- 610*)
g: 68348994 9807168 4.2BSD 2048 16384 89 # (Cyl. 610*- 4864*)

f is my /tmp, e is /var, and g is /usr. I need to merge e and g. I tried to edit disk label using sysinstall, but didn't work. Please help.

Thank you.
Amy
