When creating the filesystems I chose 472 G for the / partition (wanted to put everything into one partition - yeah, I know, one should granulate this finer, but I didn' t want to bother right now). I got told that it could not create the slice (too big? it said). Hmm, is there some limit on a FreeBSD slice size? -- Christoph
