Thanks. FYI, I finally fixed things by doing what Julian suggested, which is to copy / to /usr, reboot with /usr mounted as /, newfs /, and then copy everything back. So in summary my recommendation is to add a big warning to the growfs(1) man page that is should not be run on the root partition, even if you have booted single-user mode and haven't mounted / yet. I.e., to grow a root partition, you must boot from a different partition. -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Packet Design * http://www.packetdesign.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
