Resize / partition

MattMeyer · Feb 6, 2009, 11:09 PM

Let's say I created a new pfsense box using a 1GB vmdk file. During the live CD install, I created a single / partition and no swap partition. Now after adding a couple packages, I'm getting closer to reaching the limit of the partition size. If I grow the vmdk to 2GB, I will still have to expand this on the FreeBSD side after the system is rebooted.

Anyone know how to accomplish this? I'm not familiar enough with FreeBSD to do this. I understand that I need to use fdisk to expand the slide, then growfs. However, I've not found any real good step-by-step out there for this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

I put this one out on the FreeBSD forum that I am on. I have not gotten close to running out of disk space but it would be nice to know how to do it.
