X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2011 05:25:47 -0000 I want to create a GPT disk structure that has the following partitions: MBR NTFS (1.2G) NTFS (200G) FreeBSD OS (250G) NTFS (15G) FAT-32 (100G) (needs to be RW for W7 and FreeBSD and ntfs-3g is just not stable enough) FreeBSD data only (380G) The NTFS partitions are to place the Windows7 system, recovery partition (which I may not use), and Lenovo's odd "SYSTEM_DRV" that is required for booting. gpart has no indications of how to create an NTFS or FAT partition. Any way to so this? Or, should I use W7 to do that and leave the space for the FreeBSD ones? -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer - Retired E-mail: kob6558@gmail.com
