You may want to repartition the disk and do a newfs to update the
filesystem, and be sure the whole disk is used.

I'm sure this is a very RTFM question, but I'm getting a little lost in
the minutae about just exactly what I'm looking for.
I've got an "old" freebsd 4.4 system (single hard disk) and a new server
with 6.0 installed. The new system is working just fine and I would like
to install the disk from the old server as a data disk in the new machine
for a little while until I can kick it loose and use it for new data. What
am I looking for becuase each time I try to search the internet for the
question, i get results about adding brand new disks, adding swap space or
converting filesystems...
I'm thinking I can simply plug in the older drive, find out what partition
it's been named and then count it like I would any other mount point,
provided I create the infrustructure to do that (creat mount point, fstab,
etc.)
Is it that simple, or should I be afaid, very afraid...
Thanks,
Jeff.
