If :you had a 300M disk, then partition d would be 300M-128M= 172M. This :is useful if you are also producing disks that are 290M or 310M in :size, as you can imagine. : :This is different than what you are describing, which is the ability :to have disklabel create a slice that covers the entire disk. : :Warner All disklabel does is install a disklabel on a slice. If you want to automatically allocate the remaining free space in an existing dos partition table into a new slice, that sounds like a relatively trivial job for fdisk to accomplish. Disklabel could then be used to label the new slice. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
