I don't see a reason why it is considered to be something bad, but the inclusion of a "carrier slice" for the OS's partitions has always been recommended. But for data disks where only one partition is intended, why create it inside a slice? By the way, the OP intends to create more than one slice and then create one or two partitions within each slice, so "dangerously dedicated" disks wouldn't be a solution for him anyway. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
