resizing freebsd partition

Question

I have Windows, Linux and FreeBSD on my computer. But accidentally i "forgot" to allocate 17 gb of free disk space on the end of the disk(and "bad" Windows is using a little primary restore partition. Thus i have 4 primary partitions now). Can i resize my FreeBSD partition, to capture free space? There is my disk partitioning.

$ gpart show     
    =>       63  488397105  ada0  MBR  (232G)

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Have a look at gpart's resize command. That should enable you to grow the partition. You can then grow the UFS filesystem in the partition with growfs(8).

Do make a backup of your filesystem before trying this!
