There's gonna be one volume only. Problem is that I don't find either one on support list, but I'm not what chipset XFX Revo64.

Re: moving /usr
How would you mount your old drive once booted into your new RAIDed system? Would mount /dev/ad0s1a /mnt work even when you are booted off of your gm0 RAIDed drive?

So, if I understand you right, you have space left on your 2GB hd, and you would like to move your /usr partition there? 1.) Allocate space on that 2nd hard disk: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html You can also use /stand/sysinstall for this. 2.) Shutdown to single user mode 3.) Assuming that your new user is mounted on /mnt/usr.new, the following command will copy everything from /usr there. # /usr # tar -cpf - -C /usr . | tar xpvf - -C /mnt/usr.new Please also refer to the tar(1) man page! 3.) Now edit /etc/fstab and make your new copy the default (the best is to write the partition of the old /usr on a piece of paper, or keep it as a comment in /etc/ftab. 4.) Done. Unmount /mnt/usr.new and mount it to /usr. There isn't even a need to reboot :-) Simon signature.asc Description: Digital signature
