My concern is that if the logical partitions are not linked in the same order that they occur on the disk (by increasing LBA for example) then some programs will get confused. I think I've had this happen but don't recall the details anymore. The expert option f should fix this.

Never will I. The "g" will be (I hope it will ) a new ffs partition created (by newfs) inside the slice as the final step at the end of all this process. That's why I'm looking to increase the slice and that's all we're talking about, isn't it?
I was just too lazy to look up what was g and i ... and didn't trust my eyes anymore ... so wanted to say it in words to make sure.
