I tried to use this link to solve my problem but to no avail;
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/117023/expanding-the-disk-size-on-pfsense-under-vmware-esxi .
I'm using pfSense and I wish to increase the disk drive from 11 GB to 200 GB.
Steps followed:
1. View the initial partition sizes:
# gpart show
=> 63 419430337 da0 MBR (200G)
63 1 - free - (512B)
64 419430336 1 freebsd [active] (200G)
=> 0 419430336 da0s1 BSD (200G)
0 23068672 1 freebsd-ufs (11G)
23068672 1257472 2 freebsd-ufs (614M)
24326144 395104192 - free - (188G)
2. Resize da0
:
# gpart resize -i 1 da0
da0s1 resized
3. View the new partition sizes:
# gpart show da0
=> 63 419430337 da0 MBR (200G)
63 1 - free - (512B)
64 419430336 1 freebsd [active] (200G)
4. Tried to edit the value onto the size of c: line and got error message below:
# bsdlabel -e /dev/da0s1
bsdlabel: cannot open provider /dev/da0s1 for writing label: Operation not permitted
bsdlabel: Try to use gpart(8).
re-edit the label? [y]:
Please advise.
I also want to increase the swap to 20 GB.
