Re: Resize HAMMER filesystem

Hi Charles,
You can dump the PFSes to gzipped files, this way you would not lose your
history. See an example in this document:
http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/howtos/howto_reinstall_hammer/
The procedure would be a bit complex as it is a manual installation. You
can see the steps to be followed in the rconfig scripts (for example
http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/share/examples/rconfig/hammer.sh
)
HTH

Let imagine you have dragonfly installed on a 250 Gb disk, and you<br>
want to move it to a 500 Gb disk without reinstalling, how could you<br>
dump your existing disk and grow the HAMMER partition ?<br>
<br>
I need this to install the system from a virtual machine to a remote<br>
host, using DD (Already did it for OpenBSD and NetBSD and I would like<br>
to do it with DragonFly so at least, we could install DragonFly on<br>
dedicated servers).<br>
