For FreeBSD, both values must agree, or the slice will be considered to be in an inconsistent state. Re-label your slice so the `c' partition agrees with the slice size. This will of course make it obvious that you are wasting a few blocks, but that's already the status quo right now, it's only non-obvious. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
