I plan to add a new drive for my root system. After I install that I was hoping to take the unused partitions on the old drive with my /home directory and combine them into a useful partition. Here is the current setup:
The /dev/ada0 is a terabyte drive for archival and backup. It will be left as it.
On /dev/ada1 I would like to take p1, p2, p3 (swap), p4, and p5, and combine them into /home/user/stuff or similar.
Can this be done? I assume that gpart can do this, thus leaving me with only two partitions - /home and /home/user/stuff.
This would leave me with the original /home intact. And yes, I do have a backup should I need to go that route.[/file]
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ada1p2 19G 15G 3.0G 83% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/ada1p4 19G 381M 17G 2% /tmp
/dev/ada1p5 31G 7.8G 21G 27% /usr
/dev/ada1p6 9.7G 1.7G 7.2G 19% /x
/dev/ada1p7 362G 243G 90G 73% /home
/dev/ada0p1 891G 553G 267G 67% /home/archive
