Been doing it for years now, never had any problems. After all, 'c' is just the whole disk. I don't see the point in maken e.g. 'f' de whole disk and using that one. If the reason is only because 'c' overlaps all other partitions: there is no substitute for 'checking before doing' newfs. In short: please clarify. -- Wilko Bulte wilko@freebsd.org Arnhem, the Netherlands To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
