I guess fdisk or something? I don't really know how to partition drives
on freebsd. The problem of sharing the same drive for RVM log, RVM data
and /vicepa partitions is that a Coda server will either use the RVM log
and /vicepa partitions at the same time during a write, or RVM log and
RVM data during an RVM log truncation. Both of these will be a lot
slower because the disk has to seek all the time. It is typically better
to keep at least RVM log on a separate drive, but small 'log drives' are
hard to find (we use old 2GB SCSI drives for dedicated RVM log, and we
actually only use the first 2-20MB).
