The following reply was made to PR bin/24435; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Steve Mazerski <smazerski@yahoo.co.jp> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: rwatson@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: bin/24435: Changing slice type causes Auto-partition to not work Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2002 00:22:37 +0200 This email submitted to the "Submit Followup" link on: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3Dbin%2F24435 I have experienced the same problem with 4.6-RELEASE while attempting to rededicate a Linux ext2fs partition as a FreeBSD slice. Despite having changed the partition type to FreeBSD, in the partition allocation screen any attempt to create a partition produced the error message Unable to create the partition. Too big? I was able to remedy the situation by using the Linux fdisk to set the partition system ID to FreeBSD. On restarting the installation process, I was able to configure the slice correctly; the error message did not reoccur.
