Hi list, I have freeBSD installed on my 40 GB HDD with the foll. layout: / = 512MB swap=1GB /var=512MB /tmp=512MB /usr=8GB /home=26GB (It should roughly total to the max available ~37GB) I want to have /home resized to 20GB and then create 4 mount points /u01=3GB,/u02=2GB,/u03=512MB,/u04=512MB. I have 2 options: 1. using /stand/sysinstall-->fdisk to delete /home, create the new partitions, and then mount the mount-points. Q=will this format all older partitions (/usr,/...), forcing me to reinstall FreeBSD again? Clearly I don't want this. I have spent quite a while to get the setup running. 2. create links to /home/u01 from /u01, /home/u02 from /u02.. ln -s /home/u01 /u01 Can I install Oracle this way? Since the second Q borders on DB and FreeBSD, I am sending this to both lists. Thanks in advance... Tk ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
