Hello everybody! Here's my question I'd appreciate your help with:

How do I change the disk label on FreeBSD disk? Say I'we got a large 
partition /serv which I want to be split into two smaller ones. I've tried
using sysinstall utility which doesn't seem to actually change the 
partition. If disklabel shuold be used in this situation - how do I 
calculate the "cyl" information for the label? All other entries - sizes 
and offsets seem to be pretty obvious to calculate, but what about these
cylinders?

Thanks in advance, 

Serge
