Separating the 350Gb up into smaller chunks makes dividing the space for

Hi Mike,
I once tried to use (in DOS-terms) logical partitions within an
extended partition. This is possible, if you do the math and creation
of partition tables by hand, but is not supported by the FreBSD tools.
No, you don't need to do anything by hand. Just disklabel /dev/amr0s5
and so on

You can put FreeBSD partitions in extended slices, so the upper limit
is significantly higher than 28.

Hi Eric,
The partitions within a FreeBSD slice are numberd from a to h, where c
is always reserved for the complete disk.
So you will need two (or more) slices. Then create up to 7 (abdefgh)
partitions within each slice.
Thanks Siegbert.. Do you have any idea why this limit would be placed?
