Could anybody help me with fdisk? I'm familiar with Linux's fdisk, but FreeBSD is completely new to me, and I really don't want to loose the data I have on there now. Google and the man pages give me some information, but I'm really looking for someone to hold my hand because there's some really important data here.

Here's my partition table:

CODE

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 253678 128710 104674 55% /
devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev
/dev/ad0s1e 253678 54 233330 0% /tmp
/dev/ad0s1f 36140100 7284244 25964648 22% /usr
/dev/ad0s1d 253678 173312 60072 74% /var

Now I want to move some free space from /usr to /var. How can I do it?

Reformat and start over, there is no nondestructive way to resize the prtitions that I know of. You shouldn't need more than 256MB for /var though.
