You can put both swap and filesystems within one slice, you know. I'd suggest you delete the current wd0s3, and create a slice in the space labelled "X" there, since it's a lot bigger. I don't think you can have more than four slices. > Part Mount Size Newfs > ---- ----- ---- ----- > wd0s1 2008MB DOS > wd0s3a / 103MB UFS Y > X swap 256MB SWAP > X /var 100MB UFS Y > X /usr 1674MB UFS Y I wouldn't bother with a separate /var, just ln -s /var /usr/var. Within wd0s3, you should probably end up with wd0s3a for /, wd0s3b for swap, and wd0s3e for /usr, and, if you want a separate /var, that will probably be wd0s3f. -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
