> how to do it ? > I need to create something like 16 partitions on a disk. you may create up to 4 slices if you use slices at all (i don't) on each you can make 7 partitions (8-one for c) but each partition CAN be partitioned again. so you can make any number of partitions. example of my home system (lots of DVD-sized partitions to make backups easy) [root@wojtek ~]# bsdlabel ad0 # /dev/ad0: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 9180416 16 4.2BSD 0 0 0 b: 2000000 9180432 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28384 c: 234441648 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 2000000 11180432 4.2BSD 4096 32768 62504 e: 64262928 13180432 4.2BSD 0 0 0 h: 156998288 77443360 4.2BSD 0 0 0 [root@wojtek ~]# bsdlabel ad0e # /dev/ad0e: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 9180416 16 4.2BSD 0 0 0 b: 9180416 9180432 4.2BSD 0 0 0 c: 64262928 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 9180416 18360848 4.2BSD 0 0 0 e: 9180416 27541264 4.2BSD 0 0 0 f: 9180416 36721680 4.2BSD 0 0 0 g: 9180416 45902096 4.2BSD 0 0 0 h: 9180416 55082512 4.2BSD 0 0 0
