What you do in FreeBSD is create the partition first. It can be the whole chunk. In the labeling section you break that chunk into parts and label the partitions from those chunks. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of steffen Glaser Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2000 6:11 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Partition couldn't be labeled Hi, yesterday I tried to install FreeBSD on my computer.When I'd installed Linux I created an extra Partition (3,5GB) which stayed untouched therefore. FreeBSD displayed this partition in the editor together with the other partitions and suggested to install FreeBSD there. I agreed to that and to the freeBSD data type (165?) (in the 5th attemp I wrote the partition table immediately to the harddisk). The label editor displayed only one partition (I'm not sure, it is the same, because the displayed size was only 3.09 GB). The first time I was suspicious about this, but then I relied on FreeBSD and agreed. But I couldn't label this partition for / nor for /root, etc. I tried it several times, but it didn't work ever. Is it possible, that this problem occured, because it is the last slice of a 12 GB harddisk (and so behind the 8,4 GB position)? If so, what can I do? Greetings, Steffen Glaser.
