Thanks, Wojciech and Jerry, for your help.
Quoting Jerry McAllister <jerr...@msu.edu>:
First of all, you say that you have allocated 27GB of 238GB available.
Is that 238GB in the existing slice - gm0s1 or is it outside of
that slice? (NOTE, the 's' in the device name stands for slice -
so it is slice 1 of a possible 4).
It's 27GB used within the existing slice; gm0s1 spans the entire disk.
It could be helpful if you posted you /etc/fstab file and also
what is printed if you do: bsdlabel gm0s1 or, if it is what
they call 'dangerously dedicated' do: bsdlabel gm0
$ sudo bsdlabel /dev/mirror/gm0s1
# /dev/mirror/gm0s1:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 1048576 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 8
b: 8320016 1048576 swap
c: 488375937 0 unused 0 0 # "raw"
part, don't edit
d: 2097152 9368592 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528
e: 10485760 11465744 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528
f: 41943040 21951504 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528
If it is all in that gmos1 slice, then just use bsdlabel on that
slice to add the rest to another partition within that slice. Just
boot from something other than that mirror, make sure nothing
in gm0 is mounted and then do: bsdlabel -e gm0s1 and fix it
up as needed.
Great, makes sense. I'll boot from the FreeBSD livecd and do this.
Thanks again!
Vlad
