Windows doesn't probably see anything. anyway i would not risk running windows with FreeBSD containing disk connected at the same time anyway. it's always risky. To OP: If you omit the slice and just create two partitions (one for FS and one for swap), FreeBSD will use this fine.

Re: Does FreeBSD start slices at head boundaries?
environment. gpart(8) can create MBR slice/partition layouts (and GPT and other partition schemes). See the man page. There is little reason to use fdisk and bsdlabel any more. i use only disklabel, no fdisk at all. i put partition start sector where i want - no align problems. I did not use gpart for now in production as i have no 2TB disk where i want to do partition at all. Actually i've got quite a few 3TB disks recently but there are no both gpart, fdisk or disklabels on them, just single full disk(*) filesystem for user data. * - actually gmirror of 3 disks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

qbittorrent freezes, ioctl sign-extension ioctl ffffffff8004667e
hello, world\n is anybody else seeing this? On a fresh 9-STABLE/amd64 as of July 7, with all ports compiled from scratch. Qbittorrent (2.9.11) freezes after about 10 to 20 seconds, reacts to mouse clicks only after a minute or so; the window isn't redrawn when it was obscured by other windows and /var/log/messages has this to say: Jul 7 11:09:56 hal9000 kernel: WARNING pid 89448 (qbittorrent): ioctl sign-extension ioctl 8004667e Jul 7 11:10:50 hal9000 kernel: WARNING pid 89448 (qbittorrent): ioctl sign-extension ioctl 8004667e Jul 7 11:11:21 hal9000 last message repeated 38 times There's no way out other than sending two SIGINT (CTRL-C) to kill qbittorrent.

Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany I have used gpart to partition a USB flash drive into FreeBSD boot partition, root partition and swap partition. I ran newfs on the second (root) partition, even installed FreeBSD built from source, and made the flash drive bootable, both for amd64 and i386. Does a USB flash drive also work as a giant floppy, no partitions? Can you make a flash drive bootable when nonpartitioned and formatted that way?

I think gpart is the newer disk partitioning program for FreeBSD, replacing the older gpt still used in NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD. gpart in FreeBSD supports partition types suitable mainly for FreeBSD as opposed to more general, including Linux and other BSD. So I wouldn't expect to find gpart in Linux, though there is a more general gdisk, by Rod Smith: http://rodsbooks.com/gdisk/ But I don't think there is any GUI for gdisk.
