:What concerns me about the patch is that it uses the whole disk slice
:rather than the slice of the disk requested. fdisk -I makes a slice
:that is, typically, 63 secotors smaller than whole disk. What also
Huh? It uses the whole-disk partition OUT OF THE SLICE structure, i.e.
for da0s1 (as an example), not out of the structure for da0. so
the 63 sectors is already accounted for. I think you are confusing your
structures.
Use fdisk to create two freebsd slices rather then just one.
Then disklabel them:
disklabel -w -r da0s1 auto
disklabel -w -r da0s2 auto
You will note that disklabel produces the correct partition sizes.
