Hi,
on a newly installed FreeBSD 7.0 system on a dell 1950 server I see the
following error from bsdlabel. Is there any known issues with this or is the
only reasonable explanation that I have managed to mess it up without even
knowing? :P And should I manually change the partition c to fix the prob? Is
this safe to do?
bsdlabel -A /dev/da0s1

bsdlabel: partition c doesn't cover the whole unit!
bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system
utilities
thanks for any advice, Im not really confident with the FreeBSD disk
management as I havent used it much,
thanks Andy.
