<header>Partitions on Local Disks</header>
|
|
|
|
This module allows you to create slices and partitions on disks attached to
|
|
a FreeBSD system. There are three levels of objects that have to be taken
|
|
managed on a FreeBSD system, compared to only two on Linux :<p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><b>Disks</b>
|
|
<dd>A disk is a physical drive attached to the system, either internally or via
|
|
an external bus like USB. Disks can be either SCSI or IDE. <p>
|
|
|
|
<dt><b>Slices</b>
|
|
<dd>A slice is part of a disk whose extents are stored in the disk's partition
|
|
table. On a Linux or Windows system these are called "Partitions". <p>
|
|
|
|
<dt><b>Partition</b>
|
|
<dd>A slice can contain up to four partitions, each of which can contain either
|
|
a filesystem or be used for virtual memory. <p>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
After adding a new disk to a system, you will need to first add a slice
|
|
to it (or change the existing slice type to BSD/386), and then add a partition
|
|
of type 4.2BSD within that slice. <p>
|
|
|
|
The sizes and ranges of disks, slices and partitions are all measured in blocks,
|
|
which are typically 512 bytes in size. <p>
