I have a hard drive with one slice and 3 partitions. Only two
partitions are actually being used. I would like to delete the
3rd partition, resize the slice, and create a second slice the size of

more exact info please.

mount or cat /etc/fstab
now much better - i know that you mirrored whole drives and then
partitioned.
are whole mirror labeled? if yes - what partition you have to trim down?
if now - where are place (give me bsdlabel gm0s1 output)
