To break up my IDE drive into the filesystems I wanted I created multiple s= lices.=A0 On slice 2=A0 I had multiple gjournal filesystems.=A0 I tried cre= ating a journal on slice 3 (ad0s3d I think), but it failed.=A0 It actually = created a journal entry in /dev, but I had trouble using it.=A0 I then trie= d to remove the journal.=A0 Then a journal entry in /dev appeared for the s= lice itself (/dev/ad0s3.journal).=A0 If I removed the journal on the slice = the partition journal reappeared. I was able to get my filesystems the way I wanted by not using slice 3 and = putting the remaining fileystem in slice 2. Are there any internal requirement that a slice must be fully utilized with= partitions before a new slice may be used?=A0 I think I was able to create= a standard UFS2 filesystem on slice 3 and just had trouble with the journa= l. This was not a major problem for me,=A0 just curious. Thanks. =0A=0A=0A
