If not, create a vinum volume on it, newfs it (pass apropiate options for a 160GB fs if you care) and copy the data over.

You can then growfs to fill up your whole volume. qvb -- pica To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
