FreeBSD disk space issues / fdisk / disk slices / HELP!

Aight, so, for the record, someone else set-up this FreeBSD machine, its not me that f****d it up to begin with 🙂

When you do this:
df -h

All of the slices combined only total up to about 15gb.

Yet when you do this:
fdisk /dev/ad0

It reports the disk as 76,000mb ( 80gb hard drive )
How can I find out where the missing 65gb are, and how can I use them?

Also on that note, is there anyway to resize partitions in FreeBSD without losing all the data on those partitions... probably a long shot that one is...

THANKS IN ADVANCE! Keith
 
If they aren't in use, you should be able to use the free space just like you normally would. It might involve fdisk and possibly disklabel.

I think there are some resizing utilities, but I'm not positive. Since you already googled and looked at the extensive FreeBSD documentation, I'm not sure I'll be able to find anything. But I'll try anyhow. 🙂
 
growfs might be in the FreeBSD tree or in ports. Check it out.

Try disklabel to see if it can find the extra space. 🙂
 
Thanks, I actually did look at the FreeBSD docs, but I couldn't find anything... but I'm probably just not searching with the correct keywords 🙂

I *HEART* FreeBSD

I went into one of the OpenBSD lists and searched for "resize." I only checked there because I knew it had been answered on misc@OpenBSD plenty of times. You might enjoy the FreeBSD lists a bit more than I though. 😉

No, the people that setup sites like marc and google are the men. I'm just a person that knows how and where to search and likes to help people learn to figure it out on their own just a little bit better. 😛
