you could also install on a separate vm and sync files over the network (perhaps 'ssh dump -0 -f- /partition ... | restore rf -'). whichever way you do it, take care with the root partition; if /boot moves on the disk you will need to re-run installboot(8) - it might be simpler to just copy the files in /etc (also take care with fstab if your partitions are not in the same order on the second disk or if you use DUIDs rather than the /dev/sd0x format). > You could also use disklabel and growfs growfs only lets you expand the end of the filesystem into adjacent space, it's the wrong tool for this job.
