Re-sizing our root partition to all, but the swap partition size (gpart -s option do accept only integer values, so 7.5G = 7680M): (Just be sure it the 2nd filesystem of your ad0s1 - 3rd column value in gpart show output) The partitions have now been re-sized properly.Īs the default disk partioning is setting a swap at the end of the disk, we must first note down its size and remove it before growing the root filesystem: So edit it to match this number in our example: 16777152 (editor is vi): # /dev/ad0s1:Ĭ: 16777152 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit` # size offset fstype Ĭ: 8388513 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit Using bsdlabel to edit this value onto the zise of c: line: Get the freebsd real partition size (2nd column of the gpart show ad0 output):

: gpart resize -i 1 ad0 ad0s1 resizedĭue to a bug in gpart regarding the old MBR partitioning schemes, we need to force a global size update, as the MBR is still having the old global size.

On console mode or through ssh, start a Shell (example is only 4GB install with 4GB free disk): To grow the pfSense root filesystem you must first properly re-size the BSD partition scheme (aka "bsd slices"): The ability to grow a UFS filesystem live is only coming with FreeBSD 10.x, so all this should be done from a rescue/install mode.įirst do a backup of your config.xml file ! PfSense is currently based on FreeBSD 8.x.
