Wouldn't a change be required to /etc/fstab as well?

Right now, except for swap, everything is on one filesystem, "root".  I
know that isn't the proper way, but when I'm playing with it I hate
running out of space on a filesystem.

I've done this with Linux before, and even changing /etc/fstab, it was
definitely not happy, and I wound up having to re-install.  Since I have
to do so much juggling (at this time) to get software on the system, if
I can I'd rather copy it than re-install.
