FreeBSD - Add new slices

Let say we have a disk with 40GB space, and allocated 10GB for the system, and have another 30GB free space. We want to configure a samba services and want to allocate the free space for the samba share.

1st we fdisk-ing the free space 1st, and then label the slice. For now we will using CLI. So to add new slices to the system, we issue this command :

#bsdlabel -w /dev/ad0s2
#newfs -U /dev/ad0s2
#mount /dev/ad0s2 /share1

If done, Add the entry in your /etc/fstab

If you encounter any error said the device is busy or no swap partition, issue this command :

#sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16

reboot and everything is done! :)
