If i can mount my "wd0s6" as msdos,
why i can't format this as ufs ?
I have trouble whith "disklabel" ("unknown disk type").
I think, if i set correct "label" to slice, i can
run "newfs" to got one.

I already have 3 slices, extended partitions (slice?) and 2 slice whitin.
And i want to use second slice in extended.
