Do I setup my smaller partitions such as /, /usr, /var, /tmp and leave the end blank and then use "newfs -s /dev/da0s1<letter> ? Or perhaps creating a second slice for the remaining space over 2TB? Any man pages or URLs you know off that I can read? So far the only thing I found was the "-s" parameter to newfs. > 2. use GPT partitions. What is the drawback of using that approach? Thanks much for your help.
