Slices greater than 4 work fine in 6.x and 7.x Example, 7.1 amd64: ls /dev/ad4* /dev/ad4 /dev/ad4s2 /dev/ad4s2d /dev/ad4s5 /dev/ad4s5d /dev/ad4s6 /dev/ad4s1 /dev/ad4s2a /dev/ad4s2e /dev/ad4s5a /dev/ad4s5e /dev/ad4s7 /dev/ad4s10 /dev/ad4s2b /dev/ad4s3 /dev/ad4s5b /dev/ad4s5f /dev/ad4s8 /dev/ad4s11 /dev/ad4s2c /dev/ad4s4 /dev/ad4s5c /dev/ad4s5g /dev/ad4s9 11 slices and they all work fine. Some slices are further subdivided with BSD disklabels, some are not. They work fine either way. But 8.0 only provides /dev entries for slices 1-4. Slices 5 and above cannot be accessed. FreeBSD 8 needs to provide /dev entries for all the slices. >How-To-Repeat: Setup a disk with more than 4 slices. Boot 6.x or 7.x and observe that they all work. Boot 8.0 and observe that there are no /dev entries above slice 4. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
