Question concerning Raid Manager default partition table

[Chandler, Carolyn]

Hi Andreas,
	Well, that's an idea, but I've just
made it a habit never to use slice 2, especially
as a mounted partition (although I must admit
that I do use it when there's a specific command 
requirement to do so).  It's hard for me to 
break a habit once I pick one up :-)

Thanks,
Carol

Why not simply use slice 2 which covers the whole LUN?
