So I'm losing the last part of my partition.. I'm guessing you are hitting the process datasize limit with newfs. You should be able to raise it a bit from the default. Be warned, that fsck has much higher memory requirements so recovery may be difficult if not impossiable without a 64-bit machine. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
