Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I am trying to reuse an old DOS extended partition to extend my FreeBSD diskspace. My primary FreeBSD partition is wd0s3, the partition I am trying to use is wd0s6. The disktools only seem aimed at installing onto primary partitions so I am using disklabel etal. However, with no luck, when I try to label the disk I get: putte:~# disklabel -w -r wd0s6 auto disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument disklabel: auto: unknown disk type Any other suggestions as to how to do this?
