Hello Misc Group
So i have my OBSD laptop up and running since 6.0, and now updated to 6.1 since
the release date.
Anyways, i was installing games just for fun but the i realized that i have
limited space, if i recall it was in the /usr/local partition.
Sorry in advance, i know that oBSD is for more serious applications, but i
wanted a few games for my daughter to play.
Since i have a 500 GB SSD and my /home partition has almost all, i guessed i
could do something about it ( after reading the FAQ and Mike´s AbsoluteBSD)
- I booted in single user, checked the system with fsck sd0, and the used
disklabel -E sd0,
- in order to shrink my home directory i pressed c (to change) to partition l
(/home) and defined the new size to 500000000 blocks (which i realized later
that was 238.4G)
- after exiting i ran fsck_ffs /dev/sd0l again to make sure it was ok, but it
took a while and it says something like: filesystem was modified.
- rebooted.
Then i discovered that i still have to run fsck after reboot, if i do it i
could mount my directory, but if i reboot again i should repeat over and over
again.
I have my backups, so i could just do a fresh install and continue messing
around, that should be the easy way, but i wonder if there is a chance to fix
my mistakes.
My question is:
I know that i am missing some step to fulfill the shrinking process
but in the FAQ there is only a way to grow fs and i didn’t find the shrinking
fs, and in the book says that i should move the partition, well it does not say
it but i figured out with the information in there,
is there another way to fix my mistake so i could work with the new fs size?????
(Or there is a rule that no FFS could be shrinked, only growed)
Question 2:
You helped me and is fixed, thank you in advance, should i make another
partition in the unused space to mount /usr/local or there is a way that if
grows naturally?
(because i tried in the disklabel options and it made me imply that i could not
grow it from there since it is between partitions in the continued space.
My new configuration is something like:
Partition size offset retype fsize bsize cpg
