Dear all,
my system :
kern.osreldate: 503001
FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Tue Nov 9 13:34:27 CET 2004
I am running Freebsd on a laptop (Compaq Evo N800c).
I have a winnt partition (8GB)
I have a ufs partition (11GB)
I have ******* Working on device /dev/ad0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=38760 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=38760 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 7 (0x07),(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX)
start 63, size 16374897 (7995 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 15/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 16374960, size 22695120 (11081 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63;
end: cyl 1023/ head 15/ sector 63
my problem is that /usr is getting full.
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s2a 507630 362568 104452 78% /
devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev
/dev/ad0s2f 3966294 2783584 865408 76% /home
/dev/ad0s2e 4737646 4222964 135672 97% /usr
/dev/ad0s2d 1012974 55104 876834 6% /var
I could scratch the winnt partition because I can do most of my work now with
FreeBSD, I still need java/openoffice though, but therfore I need some free
space first.
Is there a way to use the free space from the "scratched-winnt"
partition to
increase the /usr size ?
Kind regards,
Marc Plumet.

That's there the biggest stuff goes. You may have to do some further juggling of space to get openoffice to build, but it will certaintly install. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.

I'm not sure if this works for disk partitions, or if you need a complete disk for that. But this would require a backup of /usr, newfs-ing the concatenated device followed by restoring the backup. Another option would be to copy a large part of /usr, say /usr/local to the reformatted former winnt partition and mount it at /usr/local. Other directories could be moveed to the new partition and symlinked to their previous places. Roland -- R.F.
