Hi ! Ok, I'm at a point where I'm ready to cry :( Is there ANY easy way to partition/slice a hardrive for FreeBSD ????? I spent all morning playing with bsdlabel, sysinstall... I just want to=20 partition a second hardrive so I could dump/restore the content of my first= =20 drive. So, I tried sysinstall post-install tools to create the slices and all, but= =20 all I get are errors like "can't write to ad2", or "can't mount /dev/ad2s1a= =20 on /mnt" .... Basically what I want is: ad2s1a --> /mnt ad2s1b --> SWAP ad2s1d --> /mnt/tmp ad2s1e --> /mnt/var ad2s1f --> /mnt/usr So, all I have to do after is dump / --> /mnt, /tmp --> /mnt/tmp ... and so= =20 on. I sware I tried all morning without any kind of success :( I would really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance. =2D-=20 Antoine Jacoutot ajacoutot@lphp.org http://www.lphp.org PGP/GnuPG key: http://www.lphp.org/ressources/ajacoutot.asc
