by Can some one please help me out?
I am using FreeBSD 2.2.2 and I just bought a new hard drive for the
system. I am going to keep the root(/) partition intact(it's on my
current primary hard drive). But, I need to make a /usr, a /tmp, and a
/home partition on this new drive. The drive I have in there right now
has each of those partitions on it, but I am going to transfer them all
(except for root) to the new bigger drive.
My question is this:
What do I do to partition this new disk correctly and to format it
correctly under the FreeBSD system? Do I have to use sysinstall? If I
do, what steps so I have to take in sysinstall to get it partitioned
correctly. I assume I don't have to make it bootable since the root(/)
directory resides on the primary drive already and is bootable? I just
need to get past the point of partitioning this thing. I can mount the
drive and get the files copied over if I can get the drive formatted and
partitioned correctly. Does anyone have some help that you can give me?
Thanks,
