    I just ghosted an image of my FreeBSD install from an aging harddrive
    (2GB) and now wish to install it on a new 30G drive.
    When it lands there it will have tons of space and I would particularily
    like to grow the userland space and probably also /var.
    If memory serves - these are partitions and the entire FreeBSD space is
    a slice???

    I have Partition Magic 8.0 - but I do not think that it recognizes or
    formats the FreeBSD filesystem though it does do ext2,3.
    My wish at this time is to use only about 10G or the 30 and partition
    the rest for another OS.

    Can anyone tell me how to adjust my FBSD slice to the 10G and then the
    partions inside it ?

    Thanks in advance for any patient advice.
    Graham/
