How to create 2nd slice and ufs filesystem into the 2nd HDD (after one existing msdos partition?

Here is my disk layout from gpart:

Quote:

=> 63 312581745 ada0 MBR (149G)
63 1985 - free - (993K)
2048 50331648 ada0s1 linux-data [active] (24G)
50333696 2097152 ada0s2 linux-data (1.0G)
52430848 62914560 ada0s3 freebsd (30G)
115345408 197236400 - free - (94G)

=> 63 78165297 ada1 MBR (37G)
63 16002 - free - (7.8M)
16065 31262490 ada1s1 fat32 (15G)
31278555 46886805 - free - (22G)

I want to make freebsd-ufs into this 22G free space in the 2nd HDD as ada1s2 and format it.
Please tell me how it can be done.

I've seen few documents and checked handbook also but most of them suggest doing in a HDD where no other file system exists. Here, in the 2nd HDD, 1st slice of 15G (ada1s1) is occupied with msdosfs.

Just create a new slice, & put a ufs file system on it.

If you are installing, (FBSD), don't use the suggested partitioning scheme - set it up manually.

That's what I want to know. Please check my disk layout again.

FreeBSD is already installed in ada0s3.

I want to create a FreeBSD slice in my second hdd ada1 that's likely to be ada1s2.
Im asking for help because I haven't found how to create a new slice after any existing/first partition of 2nd HDD.

Thanks.
