I don't quite understand what you mean, because you just listed the contents of a swap partition above that text.

Trying to work my headaround unix partitioning slices versus bsd partitions which is becoming quiet clear now.
The below is the swap drive. thanks to you just notice the ad2s1b
b at the end so a different partition.
Code:
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity
/dev/ad2s1b 8388608 0 8388608 0%
I was expecting to see it as /swap. But did not so got a bit confused.
I take it all the below are bsdpartitions and not slices.
Code:
ad2s1a
ad2s1b
ad2s1e
ad2s1f
ad2s1d
still wonder why my one and only harddrive is not following normal naming convention and is a ad2 instead of a ad0
Now the sysadmin who installed freebsd on myserver would he have any sane reason to give me a swap drive of 8gb when I have ram of 8gb.
The normal norm is to have x2 or x3 the amount of ram you have.
As always your help is greatly appreciated thank you
