Resizing partitions

Hi,

Is there any way I can increase the size of my partition (/usr to be particular) by using space from another partition (say /home)? I cannot add another physical harddisk to the existing system.

Thanks in advance.
 
Not unless you backup everything and re-partition (thus losing the data that's on those partitions).
 
gpart() have resize option since 8-stable and 8.2 release. Not sure how it work, you probably may lose data if you'll try to reduce an existing partition's size. That's why I use ZFS: I don't have to worry about filesystems size within the pool
