GROWFS(7)

NAME
growfs - start up script to grow the root file-system

DESCRIPTION
The following options in /etc/rc.conf control the behavior of growfs:

growfs_enable
    (“NO”) If set to “YES”, the first time the machine boots, the root file-system will be automatically expanded, if possible, to fill up all available space after it.

To expand the root file-system with-out rebooting, run the following command:
    % /etc/rc.d/growfs onestart

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
The script requires that awk be present and on the path. This usually means that /usr should be mounted prior to running the script.

FILES
/etc/rc.conf
