To continue ...

The device label /dev/sda10 is real and mounted (it is the FreeBSD "a" slice).
I could have put it in /etc/fstab to be boot auto mounted, I guess.

Now, what is going to happen if I need a new Linux partition ?

According to 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' anything after /dev/sda9 is for grabs.
So ... can I take /dev/sda10 ? Or should it be /dev/sda15 (after FreeBSD
slices /dev/sda10 thru /dev/sda14) ?
