I am not sure about turning it into a primary slice from a logical partition. If fdisk can see it as da0s2 (or ad0s2) then it is easy. Just use fdisk to turn it into a FreeBSD type slice (type 165) and then make a single (or more if you want) partition on it with disklabel/bsdlabel. It would then be mountable as /dev/da0s2a (or /dev/ad0s2a). ////jerry > > Thanks, > > Rob. > > -- > > ------------------ > http://home.comcast.net/~europa100 > Rob Lytle Home Page > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
