Another thing to consider is that the bus the MMC sits on is probably

In general they're not distinct in usage from any other type of disk.
The more expensive disks of course support TRIM so you'd want to pass -t
to newfs to enable it.

bsdinstall(8) has a curses partition editor. There is probably a
trick needed to use that outside of an install context.
Just run "bsdinstall partedit".

ices are now partitions, and instead
of 'ada0s1a' (disk 0, slice 1, partition a) you just have 'ada0p1'. A
partition table supports up to 4096 entries (gpart creates one
supporting 128 by default) so there's no need for the freebsd container
any more - you just create f
ple using floppy or USB
disks would be more ready for there to be data on the disk without a
partition table.

I didn't say it was FreeBSD's fault. If I thought it was, I would have
fixed it!

Apparently the Intel 320 SSDs use an 8KB page/block size.

What is a scan error, and which metric should I tell smartctl to check ?
I think they mean a SMART scan, as in a self-test -
http://www.twopenguins.it/2011/12/test-an-hard-disk-with-smartctl/ has
details of how to run it.

gpart set -a active -i 1 ad4
imer in the ad(4) driver which sends a
spindown command when it expires. You'll need to keep using ataidle to
fix the APM value.
