/usr out of space

Aloha Nicholas
Thanks for responding. I had just received a hint
about growfs and while reading that I found out 
about newfs. I have indeed performed the newfs and 
can now mount /dev/da1s4f.
Would it be possible to use growfs to add the new 
slice to /usr?
If not, I will follow your instructions in this 
email.
Thanks again.
Robert
