Hi!

I wan't move to a larger hd.
My test system is running 6.0 beta2.

Here are my df:

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 253678 86714 146670 37% /
devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev
/dev/ad0s1e 253678 4 233380 0% /tmp
/dev/ad0s1f 8583822 6461598 1435520 82% /usr
/dev/ad0s1d 253678 51890 181494 22% /var

Will this bellow work on my 6.0?

Moving to a Larger Hard Drive
Applicable to: FreeBSD 4.3
Updated: September 5, 2001
This *** describes the procedure I used to move my company's FreeBSD
system to a larger hard drive.

Verify that the system supports two hard drives. If not, rebuild the
kernel with support for two hard drives:
# ATA and ATAPI devices
device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14
device ata1 at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15
device ata
device atadisk # ATA disk drives

Shutdown and install the additional drive as the slave on the primary
IDE controller. Be sure to set the existing drive from 'single' to
'master.'

Boot to single user mode:
ok boot -s
# fsck -p
# mount -u /
# mount -a -t ufs
# swapon -a

Run sysinstall:
# /stand/sysinstall

Choose 'Configure,' then 'Fdisk' from the menu, then choose drive
'ad1.'

In the FDISK Partition Editor, choose 'A' to use the entire disk, then
choose 'W' to write the changes to disk. Press 'Q' to continue.

Choose 'Standard' at the "Install Boot Manager" dialog box.

Back at the sysinstall menu, choose 'Label'.

In the Disklabel Editor, create the following partitions:
ad1s1a /mnt 512MB as UFS
ad1s1b swap 512MB as swap
ad1s1e /mnt/usr remaining as UFS

Note: To get partition 'a', tell Disklabel Editor the mount point is
'/', then change it to '/mnt' using the 'M' option.

Choose 'W' to write changes to disk, then choose 'Q' to continue.

Exit sysinstall.

If the new filesystems aren't automatically mounted, mount them by
hand:
# mount /dev/ad1s1a /mnt
# mount /dev/ad1s1e /mnt/usr

Copy the existing filesystems:
# tar clf - -C / -X /mnt . | tar xpvf - -C /mnt
# tar clf - -C /usr . | tar xpvf - -C /mnt/usr

Shutdown and remove the old hard drive. Be sure to set the new drive
from 'slave' to 'single.'

Boot to single user mode:
ok boot -s

If softupdates are compiled into the kernel, enable soft updates on the
new drive:
# tunefs -n enable /usr

Mount the remaining filesystems:
# fsck -p
# mount -u /
# mount -a -t ufs
# swapon -a

Verify that all of the filesystems are properly mounted:
# mount

/dev/wd0s1a on / (ufs, local, writes: sync 8 async 204)
/dev/wd0s1e on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates, writes: sync 366 async
13493)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)

Reboot and observe startup messages to ensure the system is functioning
properly.
