I have a 200 GB mirrored gm0.  I have one slice with 6 partitions.  I 
would like to delete the 6th 100GB large partition on slice one, run 
fdisk, and make a second 100GB slice.

Will this not mangle my system (if reasonable values are entered, of 
course)?
  fdisk -u /dev/mirror/gm0

I am running FreeBSD 6.0-RC1.  (fdisk seems to see the gm0 better than 
in 5.4...).

Rudy
