The 'c' partition represents the entire disk (or slice), if you're creating a partition to cover the entire disk/slice you can use 'c' but certain utilities will complain. If you label the disk, and then examine the resulting label, you'll typically have an 'a' partition and a 'c' partition. The 'a' partition will default to the whole disk. Something like this: test54# bsdlabel /dev/ad6 # /dev/ad6: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 156301472 16 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 c: 156301488 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit You can newfs the 'a' partition and you're all set. If you want to have more than one partition on that disk/slice, then you'll have to create the others yourself. -Glenn >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
