Re: Partition Magic -like
Hi Windlamf, thank you for your answer! The problem is that I don't have a free partition yet. df -h Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a145M 70M 63M53%/ devfs 1.0K1.0K 0B 100%/dev /dev/ad0s1f 19G7.1G 10G41%/home /dev/ad0s1e 19G6.2G 12G35%/usr /dev/ad0s1d 14G160M 13G 1%/var linprocfs 4.0K4.0K 0B 100%/usr/compat/linux/proc My idea was to resize the /var partition, which is quite unused, and create a FAT partition from that!

I hope you find a better answer, but the only way I know of to do what I think it is you are proposing is this: 1) dump out all the filesystems that need to be resized or moved (tape, files on an NFS server, another disk drive - whatever) 2) re-slice (fdisk from a fixit disk or bootable CD) 3) restore all the filesystems I hope you find a better way, but at least it can be done in this way. I take it that adding a disk or replacing the disk with a larger one is not an option? -- John Lind [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi John, yes I was looking for a better solution ;-) Thank you! It's a laptop, cannot add a disk John wrote: On Fri, Feb 18, 2005 at 11:04:00AM +, Pietro Cerutti wrote: Hi all, does anybody know a tool like partition magic which works on FreeBSD?

Re: Partition Magic -like
I think you can first archive all the data in /var using tar or something that has the same function.Then delete this partition. You know what to do next? Yes, create two partitions for windows and /var. then extract the archive to one and install win on the other. I've never tried this means, but I am sure it will work. By the way, I think you should drop your windows-rooted thinking pattern.You know, the philosophy of *nix is excellent. Pietro Cerutti [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Windlamf, thank you for your answer!
