Hi, long story short, I have a partition on a RAID5 array which after an accident where I had to rebuild the array became smaller than it originally was. Here's the original size: amrd1: 1430505MB (2929674240 sectors) RAID 5 (degraded) and the new size after the rebuild: amrd1: 1430400MB (2929459200 sectors) RAID 5 (optimal) Is it possible to use 'bsdlabel -e' to shrink the partition down to a size which will fit the new size of the array? with regards, -- Morten A.
