There are a couple of utilities that come with FreeBSD but, at last check, they did not handle NTFS. I have successfully used Partition Magic version 7.0 (8.0 is crap) as long as it is not on a USB drive. It won't handle USB and 8.0 will not either even though it claims it will. I have also successfully used 'gparted' which is downloadable. It worked for NTFS and also worked fine with USB disk. There is yet another one whose name I don't remember now. Download gparted and burn a CD to boot and do the work. Or, buy Partition Magic 7.0 and build the floppies. Don't try using either on a running system.. jerry Regards. -- Albert SHIH SIO batiment 15 Observatoire de Paris Meudon 5 Place Jules Janssen 92195 Meudon Cedex Heure local/Local time: Mar 18 nov 2008 01:35:38 CET ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: shrink ntfs
I doubt the FreeBSD install CD will do that. However, I'd get a copy gparted on a live CD. That'll do what you want.
