Malcolm,

Thank you for your detailed answer to my question.

How can I find that out? Is it the slice order in the disk label editor
from /stand/sysinstall :


Disk: ad1       Partition name: ad1s1   Free: 0 blocks (0MB)

Part      Mount          Size Newfs
----      -----          ---- -----
ad1s1a    <none>        100MB *
ad1s1e    <none>       3100MB *
ad1s1f    <none>       3100MB *
ad1s1g    <none>       3100MB *
ad1s1h    <none>        300MB *
ad1s1b    <none>        300MB *
ad1s1d    <none>      66316MB *


In this table f and g are back-to-front lined up.
Does that mean f physically follows g?

Sorry, but I consider a potential spam risk when using a real address on
this publicly accessible list. The list is my communication medium and I
monitor the list on gmane. I hope you understand.

Cheers,
Rob.
