I try to format a hdd 1500gb to ufs filesystem with sysinstall
I follow this tutorial:http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/formatting-media/x76.html
Everything was fine.
I say A for all hdd to ufs,on Label i say C (where C is all my hdd on 1 partition),i mounted on /mnt/1.5tb where i take 1 error.OK.this is not the problem.The tutorial says the same.
After i execute this command:
Code: 
#dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad4 count=2
i take this:
Code: 
2+0 records in
2+0 records out
1024 bytes transferred in 0.000739 secs (1385920 bytes/sec)
But when i went to execute this command:
Code: 
# disklabel /dev/ad4 | disklabel -B -R -r ad4 /dev/stdin
i take this error!
Code: 
disklabel: /dev/ad4: no valid label found
I try all this with sysinstall a lot of times but everytime the same.
My hdd is completely empty so i have no problem to "destroy" him and to start from the begging but seems like format not doing format at all!
Also When i give again
Code: 
# disklabel /dev/ad4 | disklabel -B -R -r ad4 /dev/stdin
,ok.Runs
After i say:
Code: 
newfs /dev/ad4
I mount it and mount is successful (my conky also confirm this) but when i go to copy something on it my system completely stack!
Also on fsck i take this:
Code:

what i am doing wrong?
 
I read them,I follow that they say but the same result.When i go to label it says ad4s1d but after write changes and exit in /dev there is no ad4s1d!Only ad4.
 
All my problems solved with this simple command:
Code: 
gpart destroy ad4
I repeat the above again and now i have ad4s1d on my /dev!!!
 
Yes, it's called sade. :)

If you really want a pointy-clicky interface, then use gparted from a LiveCD. Just remember that gparted "partitions" are the same as "freebsd slices".
