> 1. Some programs, as mentioned before, still don't work > with the slice paradigm and need time to catch up. i don't know too much about slices. can anyone say something about them. they're probably cool, but i still consider them non-standard goo. i assume they exist to partition more than 4 partitions on a hard drive, but i don't understand why FBSD can't partition as many "normal" partitions as it wants, or why it would want more than 4 partitions per drive ... does anyone think they are not a good idea? ever ls /dev and see all the funky listings for slices?
