I copied the 10.3-RELEASE memstick.img to a 4GB flash drive, then used
"gpart recover" to resize the partition table to the media. After that
"gpart show" reports:
# gpart show da2
=> 3 7811067 da2 GPT (3.7G)
3 32 1 freebsd-boot (16K)
35 1348832 2 freebsd-ufs (659M)
1348867 2048 3 freebsd-swap (1.0M)
1350915 6460155 - free - (3.1G)
but "gpart add" refuses to add a second freebsd-ufs partition in that
supposedly-free space:
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -l pkgs -f x da2
gpart: index '4': No space left on device
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -l pkgs -f x -b 1350915 -s 6460155 da2
gpart: index '4': No space left on device
All of these partitions are unmounted.
What am I doing wrong?
