After installing OO, I noticed I NEED MORE SPACE! So I plan to order a much larger HDD. Here's the question. How can I move all my files to the larger HDD from the current FreeBSD HDD? I've seen some posts elsewhere, but talk about setting it up by using /mnt/root /mnt/usr, etc , but I like to keep it all just in /. Can someone explain how to pull this one off?

Is this for the laptop you mentioned in the other post? Then it may be a little more difficult. Is this for a desktop machine? Will you end with both disks in the system or only one?
The /mnt/ /mnt/usr you mentioned is a temporary thing. You mount the new partitions under a /mnt/something and then transfer the files over. Then take out the old disk and boot off the new. Don't forget to install the bootblocks.

This is not for the laptop. I will be able to have both HDDs connected. The bootblocks? Like /boot, or something I'm not catching on to? :D
