I am attempting to setup a secondary ide drive. I have configured the entire 305MB drive for storage. I used /stand/sysinstall and -it- issued the command ; /bin/sh -c newfs -b 16384 -f 2048 /dev/ad2s1e which seems very disk intensive and is taking a long time. I am wondering if this is right. I just want to use the second drive as a storage folder for backing up the main drive. The disklabel editor shows it as Disk: ad2 Partition name: ad2s1 Free: 0 blocks (0MB) Part Mount Size Newfs Part Mount Size Newfs ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ad2s1e /uusr 305242MBUFS+S Y This configuration issued the command as above; /bin/sh -c newfs -b 16384 -f 2048 /dev/ad2s1e How long should newfs take for a 305 MB drive?
