Oresuming you mean a BSD partition and not a DOS partition which is a slice in FreeBSD, eg wd0s1e (the e partition within s1 slice) has already been created, then you only need the newfs. Also, I presume that you know that the newfs will wipe anything that is already on that partition. So backup anything important. ////jerry > > - Chris > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
