Hi!
I like to increase swap partition but I am scary to screw up my system.
FreeBSD is installed on iMac (Mountain Lion).
gpart show
=> 34 1953525101 ada0 GPT (932G)
34 6 - free - (3.0K)
40 409600 1 efi (200M)
409640 1216587112 2 apple-hfs (580G)
1216996752 1269536 3 apple-boot (620M)
1218266288 1024 4 freebsd-boot (512K)
1218267312 727710720 5 freebsd-ufs (347G)
1945978032 7547102 6 freebsd-swap (3.6G)
1953525134 1 - free - (512B)
What I planning to do:
Boot to OS X and than decrease apple-hfs partition for 64 GB.
Than boot to FreeBSD (single user) and:
swapoff -a
gpart resize -i6 ada0
swapon -a
Do I need to use gpart resize -i6 -s 64G ada0 or gpart will find empty
space and use it, please? Should I format on OS X empty space to FAT?
And I am using rEFiT for boot manager.
Thank you.
