Re: Resizing Partitions



Actually, I am very interested in knowing how to non destructively resize my partitions without reinstalling OBSD too. I have searched and come up empty too. Is there a BSD utility that will allow me to accomplish this?

When I first did the install, I made a newbie mistake and set my swap partition about 3.5 times too big (200MB) on my OBSD 2.8 firewall/NAT box (486-100mhz 32 MB RAM).

I would like to set my swap to 64MB (can I make it smaller....I am just using it as a firewall/nat and possibly an ntp server--if i can get the ntp to work properly) and reclaim that extra space.

Also, how much space do I need to accommodate the full source code on my harddrive? I have a small harddrive (about 500 MB)

Thanks!

Hi, currently my /pub partition is bigger than my /home partition and
in the past I would just reinstall Openbsd to resize it.  I looked in
the archives and saw a few references to it but nothing solid. How
would I go about starting the process or where can I look for further
readings on it?
