Hi,
I have a question re reducing a filesystem in FreeBSD 6.2 - I am new to
FreeBSD - I am use to AIX
We have FreeBSD installed on a dell 1950 - I would like to reduce the size
of /usr in case I want to added the space to another file system.
We currently have all our space allocated as follows.
Here is the set-up
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/mfid0s1a 1.9G 59M 1.7G 3% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/mfid0s1d 1.9G 14K 1.8G 0% /tmp
/dev/mfid0s1f 58G 3.2G 50G 6% /usr
/dev/mfid0s1e 1.9G 58M 1.7G 3% /var
$ mount
/dev/mfid0s1a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/mfid0s1d on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/mfid0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/mfid0s1e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
In AIX I can reduce the filesystem on the fly - however I don't think I
can do that with FreeBSD from what I have seen and I am not sure how this
would be done consdering it is /usr I would like to reduce.
I am currently looking at google to see what I can find.
Any Suggestions you have would be helpful.
Thank you &
Regards
Irene
