>Description:
sysinstall's disk label editor's size field is overflowing when size is
greater than 9999MB, which is now a reality.  But there are (potentially)
free spaces to the left if the Mount field is not filled.  Alternatively,
start using GB instead of MB.  Below is an example of what just happened
when I added an 18 GB and 2 9 GB disks:

                         FreeBSD Disklabel Editor

Disk: da2       Partition name: da2s1   Free: 0 blocks (0MB)
Disk: da3       Partition name: da3s1   Free: 0 blocks (0MB)
Disk: da4       Partition name: da4s1   Free: 0 blocks (0MB)

Part    Mount            Size Newfs   Part    Mount            Size Newfs
----    -----            ---- -----   ----    -----            ---- -----
da2s1e  /remote/16     17366MBUFS Y
da3s1e  /remote/17     8682MB UFS Y
da4s1e  /remote/18     8682MB UFS Y  






The following commands are valid here (upper or lower case):
C = Create      D = Delete         M = Mount pt. W = Write
N = Newfs Opts  T = Newfs Toggle   U = Undo      Q = Finish
A = Auto Defaults for all!

Use F1 or ? to get more help, arrow keys to select.


>How-To-Repeat:
Add another 18 GB disk.
>Fix:
Right justify rather than left justify, or use GB rather than MB
when value exceeds 9999 MB.
