I've never used bsdlabel before; would someone please confirm
I've got this right?
Status quo:
huff@>> bsdlabel da0s1
# /dev/da0s1:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 1024000 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0
b: 2097152 1024000 swap
c: 8916012 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit
d: 2097152 3121152 4.2BSD 0 0 0
As I understand it, if I run this:
huff@>> bsdlabel -w da0s1 -f /label.new
where /label.new has:
# /dev/da0s1:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 1024000 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0
b: 2097152 1024000 swap
c: 8916012 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit
d: 2097152 3121152 4.2BSD 0 0 0
e: 3697708 5128304 4.2BSD 0 0 0
this will allocate the rest of the slice to partition 'e'.
(And we're ready to newfs.)
