I've changed the size of the disk slices by copying files over to a nother disk, boot from that one and later back. I would suggest using 'rsync -aHW source dest" And later remove with 'chflags -R noschg source; rm -rf source' -- Alex _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
