Yes, you need to create a line for that partition as well. You might, however, want to use something like primary - 20G:resize - - to have - the partition not mounted within Linux - resized to your desired size (20GB in this example) - not formatted - no mount options (of course) Best, Michael > This does *not* work: > > > disk_config disk1 disklabel:msdos preserve_always:1 > > primary / 6G ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro > logical swap 1G-2G swap rw > logical /var 10G-20G ext3 rw createopts="-m 5" > tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0" > logical /tmp 1G-2G ext3 rw createopts="-m 0" > tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0" > logical /usr 10G-40G ext3 rw > logical /home 100-50% ext3 rw,nosuid > createopts="-m 1" tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0" >
