Hmm. If this unused slice is very tiny (less than 1% of the total capacity), it may be the remainder of the disk which unused due to the way the partition table values get rounded. I suppose I've gotten used to only being able to fit 80 or so "real megabytes" onto a "100MB drive" due to this and that (1.0e6 "MB" versus 1.05e6 "MiB", newfs' reserved space, etc)... -- -Chuck
