Hi people.
I have been googling without any good info about: How to shrink a slice?
Case: I installed a new server for mysql, is working, I already install
all the ports I need, them I spend a lot of hours yesterday with this baby,
now this is my current disk layout:
/dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad0s1f on /tmp (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1d on /usr (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1e on /var (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1g on /backups (ufs, local, soft-updates)
What I want to do is to shrink the slice /dev/ad0s1g
Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 495 232 223 51% /
devfs 0 0 0 100% /dev
/dev/ad0s1f 495 0 456 0% /tmp
/dev/ad0s1d 5967 4225 1264 77% /usr
/dev/ad0s1e 15863 1343 13251 9% /var
/dev/ad0s1g 272313 48823 201704 19% /backups
Like u can see, is the last slice I have, is posible to remove that slice
and create a new one?
I don't have info there yet and is not a freebsd default slice, I know
that I need to umount first.
I have been reading some post but all I have seen is that ins not possible
or I'm wrong?
I try to with sysinstall looks like don't let me do this.
Running FreeBSD 7.1-p2.
Thanks all for your time!!!
