Creating a Device file /dev/ad4s5

What's strange for me is that ad4s4 is an extended partition with a NTFS logical partition in it, yet FreeBSD seems to think it's a UFS partition. You shouldn't have ad4s4a, b, etc. - should be just ad4s4 and ad4s5.

Out of interest, what does "bsdlabel ad4s4" say?

You might want to post to one of the mailing lists and/or file a PR about this...
 
Code: 
DIGITAL-TRAITOR# bsdlabel ad4s4
# /dev/ad4s4:
8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a:   524288        0    4.2BSD     2048 16384 32776
  b:  1048576   524288      swap
  c: 13187095        0    unused        0     0         # "raw" part, don't edit
  d:  1048576  1572864    4.2BSD     2048 16384     8
  e: 10565655  2621440    4.2BSD     2048 16384 28552
bsdlabel: partition c doesn't cover the whole unit!

At some point in time, was that 4th partition a BSD partition before you made it an extended logical NTFS partition?
 
According to Windows XP Logical Disk Manager Service the 4th Partition is not an Extended one.
I have 4 partition and all are Primary ones.
C: (78MB)
UFS (10GB) Unknown as per Windows
E: 55.88 GB
D: 45.83 GB

I don't have any extended ones and the 4th one was never a BSD partition, it was just Free space.
 
I solved it. I deleted the D DRIVE PARTITION completely. Now I again had free space. I Recreated the same partition with same amount of size and now I do see /dev/ad4s5.

I don't know how many have faced tis but ntfs-3g (fusefs) if used to mount a NTFS Drive has to be safely unmounted else your files disappear and you need to run chkdsk X: /F
