Hi Devin,

Apropos sade (sysadmins disk editor). I have it at /usr/sbin/sade and I am running a FreeBSD 8.3. I also mounted FreeBSD 8.1 and FreeBSD 8.2 and found sade at /usr/sbin/ even in these older FreeBSDs.

Regards,

Conny

In this case, sade is (or was) a direct by-product of the death of sysinstall(8). It only exists in 9 or higher.

In-fact... sade was (up until recently in HEAD) actual code removed from sysinstall(8).

NOTE: In HEAD, sade(8) is now a direct path to "bsdinstall partedit"

I don't know what the long-term goals are for sade, but it's a nice 4-letter acronym that's a nice keystroke saver (at the very least).

Right.  sysinstall(8) - or at least the fdisk and bsdlabel modules that
constitute sade(8) - remains the only safe and sane way to handle MBR
disks.
