Hi,
I have a hard disk, on which I would like to merge two slices
into one single slice. The disk slices are as follows:
/dev/ad1s1a 98M 43M 47M 48% /home/userB
/dev/ad1s1d 64G 45G 14G 77% /home/userA
/dev/ad1s1e 3.0G 2.5G 282M 90% /home/userC
/dev/ad1s1f 3.0G 1.0G 1.7G 37% /usr/ports
/dev/ad1s1g 3.0G 268M 2.5G 10% /mnt
/dev/ad1s1h 295M 295M -23.5M 109% /diskless_swap
I want to merge /ad1s1f and /ad1s1g into one 6Gb slice.
The merging should NOT destroy anything in the slices before
(ad1s1a, d, and e), but destroying the data in the one afer
(ad1s1h) is no problem.
Is there a way to do this? What is the safest one?
(without having to backup the whole disk).
Thanks,
Rob.
