The p* devices are probably not what you're looking for. The p0 device is generally "the whole disk", including access to the partition table, etc. The p1-4 devices are for access to the classic MBR primary partitions, of which there can only be four. If you've created a modern, EFI/GPT style partition table, and format(8) can see those GPT partitions, then what you want are the s* or "slice" devices, which is how we refer to them. You should ideally have one slice device for each GPT partition. Cheers. -- Joshua M.
