Looks to me like he wants to put the partition in the remaining space in the existing slice. It all adds up, based on the c: 156296322 size Now, if he wanted to use some disk left out of the existing slice, he would have to use fdisk to change the slice table. ////jerry > > =Adriaan= > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
