You'll of course need to boot from another medium to do this.


That's my main question - can a larger disk be detected *without* a
reboot. On FreeBSD instances running within VMWare I have been able to
add new disks without a reboot but, as I described below, have not
found a way to get the operating system to detect a larger *existing*
disk without a reboot. VMWare allows you to resize a disk on the fly.
Obviously I'm only interested in the "grow the disk" scenario :-)

Force a GEOM retaste?
