If you're going to use the whole disk, then just set up a single partition on it. Then use `disklabel -e da0' to just change the fstype from 4.2BSD to vinum for the partitions that you want to give to vinum. disklabel -e will bring up the partition table in a text editor so you can just change it. If you set up a single partition you'll see two in disklabel - a "c" partition and eg. an "e" partition covering the same space. Leave the c partition alone and change the e partition fstype to vinum. -- Kevin Street street@iname.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
