growfs question

[Andrew Kozak]

 Hey There Jeff

Your theory is correct, however, best post this on -questions, you will get
more experience over there. Remeber to take backups :) Have you tried man
growfs yet ?

Welcome to the community :)

Subject: growfs question
 
Okay, I've got FreeBSD 4.8-Stable running, and I've run out of room on /
 
I've looked around, and I think (in theory) that I can use growfs to
increase the size of / since the contiguous slice is /tmp, from which I
can sacrifice some space.
 
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 128990 127684 -9012 108% /
/dev/ad0s1f 257998 1254 236106 1% /tmp
/dev/ad0s1g 18359694 5072672 11818248 30% /usr
/dev/ad0s1e 257998 8384 228976 4% /var
procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc
 
Problem is, I'm not quite sure how to do it, and scared of messing up
my system in the process. Has anyone attempted something similar?
 
TIA
