Perhaps you have a= =20 link handy which illustrates the GPT on disk and the BIOS interactivity. Is= =20 it possible to have both, MBR and GPT? I can't imagine. My particular problem is that I want to have every jail in it's own label, = but=20 then I have to slice my disk (array), because I have roundabout 20 jails,=20 which makes it impossible to rearrange label-sizes. =2DHarry > -- Brooks --Boundary-02=_TxNQBw+ep64q0Gk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBQNxTBylq0S4AzzwRAgV1AJ95iBVtXcTyE+o5IRAYRjNkTXYp2gCfSOO9 uUDS5U/jDWvAlDSdFUZ+aLw= =ogKn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_TxNQBw+ep64q0Gk--
