You can just do that. On the other hand, partitions a to c (and d on x86) have a special meaning (a is root, b is swap, ..). So if you want to parition a "data disk", then using e and following is better. >Can I get a label from one SanDisk, and write it >to the other SanDisk? You can do something like: disklabel sd0 > mylabel disklabel -R sd1 mylabel That requires that these are disks with identical geometry. You also may want to have meaningful 'disk' and 'label' fields. None of that is ensured when you copy a label.
