Hi all, I have 6 GB left on an already production disk drive, that I want to label and use. In sysinstall, using disklabel, I get the following: Disk: ar0 Partition name: ar0s1 Free: 12218275 blocks (5965MB) Part Mount Size Newfs Part Mount Size Newfs ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ar0s1a <none> 250MB * ar0s1b swap 1024MB SWAP ar0s1e <none> 40000MB * ar0s1f <none> 30000MB * ar0s1g <none> 40000MB * If I create another partition and then write with the 'w' command, will this destroy any data? Or would I be better off using the disklabel command, and entering in the following: h: * 4.2BSD and then doing a newfs? What is the safest or most recommended way? Tks, Steve
