Yes I am :( I think I mixed it up with OpenBSDs disklabel where 16 partitio= ns=20 are allowed. Wouldn't it be a great thing to have more than 8 labels per slice in FreeBS= D=20 too? My intention was to give every jail it's own mountpoint so size was absolut= ely=20 fixed. Regrettably it exceeds my skills to adopt the OpenBSDs (NetBSDs) disklabel. Is anybody else interested in more labels?
