The c partition doesn't need to be shrunk by a sector since it's not used as a gmirror provider, and only the slices that end at the end of the disk/provider their slicing. So a disk with two consecutive slices, say a and d, only d needs to be reduced by 1 sector since a doesn't end at the end of the disk anyways. > > > -Snow > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-geom@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-geom > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-geom-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- I sense much NT in you.
