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. > If you only have 4 partitions anyway, why not make them all 'real' > ones. I already have 3 slices, extended partitions (slice?) and 2 slice whitin. And i want to use second slice in extended. > And finally, remember that multiple FreeBSD partitions can (and > usually do) live within one DOS partition (or in FreeBSDese, > 'slices').
