Recently we decided to change it and had no end of trouble. I successfully repartioned the disk. But fail miserably when attempting to run newfs on the resulting partition wd0s3 though it strangely reports in disklabel when i run disklabel -r wd0s3 as wd0s1. I can not find a valid type in disktab to even remotely come close to labeling it... and under label the working partition reports absolutely nothing. So the question is: How do I give FreeBSD a new partition on a disk with a partition already dedicated to FreeBSD?
