re-partition partitions

Hi,

I am using FreeBSD 4.9 and still learning how to use it. I already installed it on my machine, but now I decide that I want to change the partition but I don't want to re-install again (plus, I am thinking this as a learning experience).

So, is there a way to re-partition my current partition? Right now I have /usr 4GB, and /var 10GB. I want to downsize /usr to 3 or 2GB, and dump the rest to /var (so about 11-12GB). Anyway I can do this? I know this won't be easy, but it worth the try and the experience for me.

Thanks in advance!

I believe there's a tool called 'fips' that can help with repartitioning - googling for it should turn up some relevant info. Obviously backup first and be prepared to start from scratch if things go wrong.
