I have a lot of data on my /usr partition that I would rather not have to backup and then readd to the system. is there a way I can reinstall and leave parts of the file system intact? I assume that I can use the same partitions but I'm worried that reinstalling will clean the partitions.
As long as your /usr is on a separate partition, you can choose to mount it at some other point and not format while re-installing FreeBSD. I don't recollect the exact steps off-hand, but I remember there being a "Toggle NewFS" or something like that option on the screen where you make partitions. Just toggle it off and the partition won't get formatted.
Hope that helps. Regards, Rakhesh _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
