So I've hot a 60GB 2.5" IDE Hard Drive in a USB Enclosure. Thing works like a champ, even in FreeBSD. I'm curious the best (or most efficient?) way to cut the drive up. My Goal is to have a bootable slice (5ish GB for the latest stable DVD), some free space if I need to write to a location reliably from the Fixit prompt and then have several slices for various branches, checked out at my leisure that I can mount to /usr/src on what ever machine I happen to be on or traveling to. Should I suffice to use bsdlabel or should I think about gpt? I've read a bit on both and am not sure which is really the best choice for this application. c-
