I've been admonished for using the c partition as a filesystem since it's
somewhat magic. For regular disks the running recommendation is to make
another partition (a or g or whatever) that is identical to the c
partition information, and to newfs/mount that. I personally haven't run
into problems but I've been warned that the c partition interface is
subject to change.
