Date: 4 Apr 1997 00:33:46 GMT Organization: Singapore Network Services Pte. Ltd. Lines: 30 Message-ID: <5i1i9a$2dum@sheraton.asianconnect.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: narwhal.sns.com.sg X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950824BETA PL0] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:38812 Dear All, I was trying to install FreeBSD on a 3.2GB HD. Rather than having a few large FS'es, I tried to create more smaller FS'es. Then partition layout was as follows. wd0s1 DOS 150MB wd0s2 EMPTY 280MB wd0s3 FreeBSD / 40MB wd0s4 Other FreeBSD slices Rest of HD While subpartition /dev/wd0s4, I hited the limit after reaching /dev/wd0s4h. Subsequent FS creation through the sysinstall menu give me /dev/X. Is there a way to get pass this problem?? Or I just have to have less FS'es which are larger in size? Thanks in advance.
