Hi All,
I had a problem, I do as been told by the OpenBSD cover on installation
of the drive.
80m for /
300m for swap
80m for /tmp
80m for /var
2g for /usr
all the other for /home
It actually says that's an example only ;)
however it seem that my /var allocated more than 70%, I will like to
enlarge it. I use all my partition in the hardisk for OpenBSD.
Can I enlarge it without effecting the /home contain. I want to reduce
the /home size.
Short answer: no. Give up now and reinstall now that you know what you need.
Long answer: Yes, the FAQ which you sound like you've read does imply
that this is possible. However, this is pretty low-level stuff so it's
really tricky. All the filesystems right now are packed together (or
probably are at least; you can check your disklabel to see, with some
graphing paper and patience, exactly where they are positioned). If
you've left unused space at the end, and /var is the lastmost
partition, it will be possible to grow it. See growfs(8) and read it
very carefully.
But you would probably be better off doing a clean install.
Good luck,
