Your advice was right on thank you very much. Actually step #4 was automatically handled by step #3. Regarding reallocation of space formerly occupied by /var on /dev/ad0s2d, is there a way to reallocate it back to one of the other existing partitions or do you mean only to use it as is for something else?
