I want to dedicate the entire disk to a single FreeBSD partition ("da1s1a"), and
am a little confused about editing partitions via "bsdlabel -e <slicename>".
Prior to editing, it looks like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# /dev/da1s1:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 17908300 16 unused 0 0
c: 17908316 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I gather that I should change the following field values for "c:":
fstype: 4.2BSD
fsize: 2048
bsize: 16384
Questions:
1) Do I change the "size" value for "a:" or leave at current size?
2) Do I leave the "c:" line alone (in place) and if YES does its "size" and "offset" values need to be edited?
If someone could show me what it should look like when done, I'd appreciate it.
When I leave the "c:" entry in place, I get /dev/da1s1a and /dev/da1s1c in /dev/.
Should I delete the "c:" entry? Here's what I have now:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# /dev/da1s1:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 17908300 16 4.2BSD 2048 16384
c: 17908316 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks!
