When you put, say ads1a, on an external drive do you have to use disklabel on the external hard-drive, once you've used fdisk, to create the partitions first?. Or can you just allocate space and whack 'em on, once you've allocated space using fdisk?. Because when you're using dump aren't you copying the partitions anyway?
