I delete an existing slice and create two new ones in the old freed space. When writing the changes I get: ERROR: Unable to write data to disk da0! There are no naming conflicts Single user and multiuser no difference There are only two existing slices mounted, / and /tmp no separate slices for /var /usr and so on. What am I missing here? Thanks,
