how to overcome this problem ?
thanks
Use fdisk to make up to 4 slices on the disk; e.g. ad0 gets ad0s1 to
ad0s4.
you can then create up to 6 usable partitions on each slice.

if you are on 7.0 and your box is equipped for it (memory) you could -
and probably should - give ZFS a try.
I use it w/o troubles and it really eliminates the partitioning (and
other) hassles. Simply put: it is the next
big thing in storage ;-)
Have a look here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFS
take care,
Robert
