You cannot fdisk the disk you are booted from or a mounted disk other than just to read the information - but no updating. If you need to modify the primary label of your boot disk, then you will need to boot from something else, such as a 'fixit' CD. In 4.xx and before, the fixit was the second CD. In 5.xxx (and I presume after), the fixit is the first CD. > This person had exactly the same problem: > > http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s= > <http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=357343> > &threadid=357343 > > I too had used dd to transfer from a smaller HD. > Not a good idea. First, build your new (larger) disk properly with fdisk/disklabel/bsdlabel and newfs first (or you can use /stand/sysinstall - see 'man 8 sysinstall). Then use dump(8)/restore(8) to transfer the file systems. ////jerry > > Additional info: > > > > /home/paul# df -h > > Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on > > /dev/ad0s1a 193M 92M 86M 52% / > > devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev > > /dev/ad0s1d 242M 432K 222M 0% /tmp > > /dev/ad0s1f 4.8G 3.0G 1.4G 68% /usr > > /dev/ad0s1e 242M 163M 59M 73% /var > > devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /var/named/dev > > > > > > > > > > Thanks. > > > > Paul > > _______________________________________________ > 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]"
