I have a 500meg file that I dd'd and have mounted as a vn-device filesystem. I would like to increase this to 1gig, however it is very time consuming to do a dump of the FS to a file, dd a new larger one, then do a restore (I have many special files in the FS, thus the need for dump).
Is there a procedure wherein I can just unmount the file, expand it, then remount it ? I realize some trickery is needed as the newfs originally done on the file will then be wrong, etc. - possibly disklabel as well - but I am willing to run a new disklabel and/or newfs command on the file in addition to expanding it. Any suggestions on how to expand that file without doing the dump/restore steps ? thanks, PT To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
