Hello: I have a question regarding FreeBSD slices/partitions. I have a disk with linux partitions with the following layout: /dev/sda1 / /dev/sda2 /home /dev/sda3 /usr/local /dev/sda5 swap /dev/sda6 /home/user1 /dev/sda7 /home/user2 etc. sda1, sda2, and sda3 are primary partitions, sda5 and above are logical partitions on an extended partition. I would like to have a similar setup with FreeBSD. The goal is that the / root, /home, /usr/local and /home/user1 etc. filesystems should be on independent slices/partitions so that I could mount them independently from linux. How can I do this in FreeBSD? Can I have slices with only one partition occupying the whole slice? Can I do something like the following: /dev/ad0s1a / /dev/ad0s2e /home /dev/ad0s3e /usr/local /dev/ad0s5b swap /dev/ad0s6e /home/user1 /dev/ad0s7e /home/user2 etc. where the partitions (a, e, b) occupy the whole slice where they reside on? Thanks, Istvan
