> Are there any limits for size/quantity of partitions at freebsd > slice? 4 slices per disk, 8 partitions per slice (by convention, partition "c" covers the whole disk so usually only 7 usable partitions). AFAIK FreeBSD cannot use the so-called "extended partitions" (i.e. slices-within-slices). If this is too restrictive for your purposes, use vinum to chop up a large partition into lots of little ones.
