Hi, what is the absolute address of the 1st sector of, say, da0s0a? In fdisk, 63 are used and bsdlabel shows 16 in front of the 1st slice. Is the answer 63+16=79? Background: I want to adjust my slices in multiples of SSD cells. Thanks, Axel --- axel.rau at chaos1.de PGP-Key:29E99DD6 +49 151 2300 9283 computing @ chaos claudius
