It uses libdisk(3) for slice/partition table mangling, so it is unlikely to wipe out your disk due to a bug, but of course, I cannot be sure without more testing. So please try it out, if you have a spare disk or box. But beware, it's still possible that your disk gets trashed, so please don't use it on disks with important data! Features: - create/delete slices - create/delete partitions - mount/unmount partitions - run newfs on new partitions - add swap partitions Developed and tested on 4.0-RELEASE. It probably won't work on 3.x.
