Thanks for the reply.

However, I'm still a bit puzzled by the graph that Disk Utility uses to indicate partition size... which is inner or outer? I guess I could run it on the extra drive and do a kf -d(?) command to view the partitions and figure out which one is which.

I was just hoping legacy Mac users might remember...

Thanks.

Does 10.1 have something similar to the format utility in Solaris where you can define partitions by cylinder?
