Hey guys,
I just got a 1TB external hard drive (USB) by Western Digital.
Hooked it up to my FreeBSD server and mounted it - no problems. Even mapped it to a windows laptop using Samba.
My question is, what is the easiest way to partition the disk into say a 400GB and a 600GB slices. I am used to cfdisk from my Linux days, I really have no experience with fdisk, so exact commands would be helpful too. I was reading the handbook and it mentions a ton of stuff that needs done.. dd, bsdlabel, fdisk, etc. All I want to do is slice the disk into two MSDOSFS disks 1 for backups and 1 for storage so I can map them to the Winblows laptops.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
