This is only to close this thread: Today morning I installed CURRENT into /dev/ad2s1a (without problems) and I've found no way to re-use the other old (RELENG_7) partition in the 2nd SSD /dev/ad3; I had to wipe it out to make fdisk happy: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad3 count=2 # fdisk -I /dev/ad3 # newfs -m 0 -o space /dev/ad3s1a # echo "/dev/ad3s1a /usr/local ufs rw,noatime 1 1" >> /etc/fstab # mount /usr/local matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <matthias.apitz@oclc.org> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ People who hate Microsoft Windows use Linux but people who love UNIX use FreeBSD.
