If you use the -f option, you're using the non-interactive mode and it will run to completion without further questions. I suspect that that -f is rarely used. Otherwise, it's in interactive mode. Read the warning in the -f description and the last paragraph of the Notes section, at least. I think you can use the /stand/sysinstall program to do the common fdisk things in a mode that's more obviously interactive. (In two years, I've never had to use either to change partitions after OS installation. :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
