Hi Sir,
It depends on your install.
In FreeBSD /dev/ad0s1a is the root (/) partition.
if you created a specific partition for others i.e /var then they will
be allocated a different mount point i.e /dev/ad0s1d.
A standard FreeBSD install will be as follows.
/dev/ad0s1a = /
/dev/ad0s1b = Swap
/dev/ad0s1d = /var
/dev/ad0s1e = /tmp
/dev/ad0s1f = /usr
If the partition was custom this will be different.
If you can copy and paste the output for your "df -u" command we might
be able to help more. Also let us know the FreeBSD version etc.
The suggestions you got from Wash will work, but it all depends on whats
in your / partition.
Regards,
Michuki.
