I have a quick question about re-apportioning disk space on my
computer (FreebSD 5.4RC2 Athlon 850 MHz 512MB RAM)
Here is the output of df -H:
REDE2SRV# df -H
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 520M 61M 418M 13% /
devfs 1.0k 1.0k 0B 100% /dev
/dev/ad0s1f 5.3G 805M 4.1G 17% /music
/dev/ad0s1e 1.5G 133k 1.4G 0% /tmp
/dev/ad1s1d 8.4G 7.0G 732M 90% /usr
/dev/ad0s1d 1.5G 48M 1.3G 3% /var
My /usr partiton is almost at capacity (90%) on a separate disk
(/dev/ad1) from the rest of the other partitons. I allocated way too
much space for my /music partition (dev/ad0s1f). I don't plan on ever
using up the 4.1GB that's left over. I've been archiving (to CD) my
mp3s, oggs etc so I always have a backup. What I wanted to know is
would it be possible to reclaim some disk space under the /music
partion and link a /usr sub-partition (/usr/home) to that reclaimed
space? Hopefully I've explained myself clearly. What part of the
handbook sections could I start with?
Regards
