I have a disk slice defined with partitions a-h and would like to an 'i' entry to finish off the disk space. Is this not permitted? When I try to create the device, I get the following error: [root@ftp /dev] # sh ./MAKEDEV amrd0s1i bad partition for disk in: amrd0s1i A quick glance at MAKEDEV shows that it is only coded to create partitions up to 'h'. Is it a matter of editing MAKEDEV or are there other reasons to limit a slice to only 7 partition entries? disklabel /dev/amrd0s1 # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 1024000 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0 - 63*) b: 1319296 1024000 swap # (Cyl. 63*- 145*) c: 71119692 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 4426*) e: 2097152 2343296 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 145*- 276*) f: 12582912 4440448 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 276*- 1059*) g: 16777216 17023360 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 1059*- 2103*) h: 16777216 33800576 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 2103*- 3148*) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
