Thanks!

This by the way might be a good point to ask the following question. When I
repartitioned my hard disk after the mess the installer made of it, I
noticed that DragonFly's fdisk prints out the cluster numbers of the slices
modulo 1024. So, e.g., if the cluster number should be 1825, it prints 801.
Is this intended behaviour, or something from old times in which hard disks
did not have more than 1024 clusters?
