It occured to me that there might be some limitations to the size of a hard drive for BSD so I thought I would ask the following questions. :) 1) Can I use the drive as one big slice? 2) Would it be better for (performance, maintance, etc) to carve the disk up into smaller slices? Thanks, Mike --------------A1D59936E284262E58671FD4 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="mruhl.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Michael J.
