I set up my laptop to dual boot between [EMAIL PROTECTED] and FreeBSD. When I first set it up I made the partitions the same size, but since then I found I do a lot more with FreeBSD so I'd rather give it more space.
So the last time I had to reinstall Windows from scratch, I made its partition smaller. Now there's a big chunk of free space between the two partitions. Should I expect the following to work? (back everything up, duh) Boot from a CD, change the partition table to make the FreeBSD partition start right after the Windows partition Use dd to move down the existing FreeBSD partition data so it starts at the beginning of the new partition Use growfs to give the extra space to my /usr filesystem, which is at the end of the existing partition Or should I just back it all up to a USB disk, reformat, and restore it, which will take considerably longer?
