Adding another /usr

["Thomas-Peter Klug" <thomas-peter.klug%db.com@localhost>]

Hello !

Last night I've been facing a new problem : /usr is nearly full.
No wonder, because there are lots odf sources (pkgsrc, sys, xsrc etc.) which I 
want to keep. A 'make clean' doesn't help any longer ;-(

My harddrive with NetBSD looks like this :
sd3b /swap     :  256 MB (NBS)
ad3a /root     :  300 MB (NBR)
sd3d /usr :  600 MB (NBU)
sd3e /amiga    :  300 MB (AmigaDOS-FFS)
     Viper     : 1600 MB (AmigaOS-SFS)

What about splitting Viper: into 2 partitions, and enabling an /usr2 on one of 
them :
sd3b /swap     :  256 MB (NBS)
ad3a /root     :  300 MB (NBR)
sd3d /usr :  600 MB (NBU)
sd3e /amiga    :  300 MB (AmigaDOS-FFS)
sd3? /usr :  600 MB (NBU)
     Viper     : 1000 MB (AmigaOS-SFS)

What are the steps to make NetBSD recognize /usr2 ? I think about making a new 
device or finding out what /dev/sd3? is associated with /usr2 and adding a line 
into /etc/fstab. So how can I write FFS to /usr2 (partiton already prepared 
with HDToolBox : NBU/07).

Thanks for any suggestions.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
