Hi folks, I am trying to custom partition my 73GB SCSI hard drive using 5.3. When I first create the partions using the Auto Default option I get the following table: amrd0s1a / 256MB UFS2 Y amrd0s1b swap 2022MB SWAP amrd0s1d /tmp 256MB UFS2+S Y amrd0s1e /var 256MB UFS2+S Y amrd0s1g /usr 67085MB UFS2+S Y OK, so far so good but I want bigger /, /tmp and /var partitions. So I deleted them and recreated them to the following: amrd0s1b swap 2022MB SWAP amrd0s1a / 512MB UFS2 Y amrd0s1d /tmp 512MB UFS2+S Y amrd0s1e /var 1024MB UFS2+S Y Now, I just cannot create the /usr partition. If fails with: "Unable to create the partition. Too big?" Although the top line tells me there is 65805MB left which is less than the auto created partition... Bug or am I missing here something? Thanks. Dave
