I am sending this message to you once i got no help from questions! My HDD is divided into 2 slices, wd0s1 and wd0s2. I would like to have a third slice: wd0s3. I want to use fdisk rather than /stand/sysintall, once i think it's faster than sysinstall. (i will use sysinstall to see how my new slice status is) g c1027 h255 s63 p 1 11 63 4112577 p 2 165 4112640 8225280 p 3 165 12337920 1606500 #p 3 0 0 0 p 4 0 0 0 a 2 It's all ok! When i use fdisk to look my slices, i can see them clearly, 3 slices. Now, i use sysinstall to see how it is: and.... It shows only two (2) slices, not three (3). I am totally confused. May you, *PLEASE*, explaim me why? Thank you for your time and cooperation. -- The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
