I installed FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE on vmware for some testing today and had the following problems when creating partitions: I first used the auto defaults option to see if it would give something sane, it didn't(well, rather sane but not good enough). Then I started deleting the partitions, swap first, then created a smaller swap, then deleted /usr, /var and /tmp, then /, then created a new / and then tried to create a new /usr, which didn't work. It said "Unable to create the partition. Too big?". I am sure it wasn't too big as I managed to create an equally big partition after deleting the newer / and swap partitions and creating them in order (first /, then swap). I have run into this problem earlier, deleting the already existing partitions helped that time too. >How-To-Repeat: Probably as described above. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
