Swanton) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: Simple disklabel Q Date: 19 Aug 1993 17:28:02 -0500 Organization: UTexas Mail-to-News Gateway Lines: 22 Sender: daemon@cs.utexas.edu Message-ID: <9308192228.AA12419@moose.usmcs.maine.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: cs.utexas.edu Quick question - I set up this disk with ~100M to use for OS2/Linux/Whatever and never used the space, can I allocate it simply by running disklabel -e and creating, say, a 'g' partition that covers the unallocated space (0-125) without adversely affecting the rest of the disk? (this is the *only disk*) Sorry to ask a trivial question, just want to be sure. (I *think* I have good dump tapes...) Thanks gps swanton@moose.usmcs.maine.edu - please email as I'll be away for a few days and I may miss a posted reply. Thanks. snippet from disklabel -r: 6 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 16384 258048 4.2BSD 512 4096 11 # (Cyl. 126 - 133) b: 81920 274432 swap # (Cyl. 134 - 173) c: 1056768 258048 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 126 - 641) d: 1314816 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 641) e: 512000 356352 4.2BSD 512 4096 11 # (Cyl. 174 - 423) f: 446464 868352 4.2BSD 512 4096 11 # (Cyl. 424 - 641)
