It wasn't my email. This is what confuses me. The slice (da0s1, called partition in your quote?) is taking up the whole disk. It is the only slice on the disk, No, you will need to grow the *partition* using disklabel. What does `disklabel -r da0s1' say? and spans the entire disk. Any idea why I'm getting the error? -Rishi ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
growfs says 'we are not growing' ?!?!
Trying to enlarge a partition (/usr) on a slice (da0s1) with plenty of space: # fdisk The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5), (FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 1171861362 (572197 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1 end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 # df -h: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 193M 80M 98M 45% / /devfa 1.0K 1.0K 98M 0%/dev /dev/da0s1d 193M 5.9M172M 3%/var /dev/da0s1e 1.9G 670M 1.1G 37% /usr But when I try: # umount /usr # growfs /dev/da0s1e I get: growfs: we are not growing (1048576 - 0) What am I missing? The /stand/sysinstall program had some problems with a large /usr partition as well; when I tried installing the system giving /usr all the remaining space on my disk, the installation would choke during the fetch and install from ftp. How can I take advantage of the remaning free space on my disk? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: growfs says 'we are not growing' ?!?!
Any idea why my partitions (da0s1a, da0s1d, da0s1e) don't have valid disk labels? # disklabel -A da0s1d | more disklabel: /dev/da0s1d: no valid label found # disklabel -A da0s1e | more disklabel: /dev/da0s1e: no valid label found I created the partitions and mount points when installing the os using the standard GUI. -Rishi Dan Nelson wrote: In the last episode (Dec 04), Rishi Chopra said: Trying to enlarge a partition (/usr) on a slice (da0s1) with plenty of space: # fdisk The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5), (FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 1171861362 (572197 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1 end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 # df -h: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 193M 80M 98M 45% / /dev/da0s1d 193M 5.9M172M 3%/var /dev/da0s1e 1.9G 670M 1.1G 37% /usr But when I try: # umount /usr # growfs /dev/da0s1e You need to extend your e slice (with disklabel -e da0s1) first.

You don't run disklabel on partitions; you run it on slices. Most disks will have a single disklabel, which creates all the partitions needed. Let me see if I can do an ascii-art drawing of a resize operation: Original system: 1 |__DISK__| 2 |MBR|__Slice 1_|__Slice 2| 3 |_a_|___b___|__d___|___e__| 4 |_/_| |_/var_|_/usr_| Row 1 is the physical layout. Row 2 is composed of the MBR and fdisk slices. Row 3 is BSD disklabels, and row 4 is filesystems. In this example, we'll say da0s1 is a non-unix filesystem and ignore it. da0s2b is swap, which always uses the entire space given to it, which is why I didn't extend it to row 4. The disklabel header for Slice 2 is actually embedded in the first block of the first partition which is why there's no |DL| on row 3 to match the |MBR| for slices on row 2. UFS filesystems skip the first 8k or 64k in a partition to leave room for the disklabel header and boot blocks.
