I advocate a separate file system for /home, but I was suggesting to
join that with the Prim #3 partition below, not having one file system
for /home and one other file system for /common (as it reduces the
fragmentation, and what is common is the data, usually located in
/home).

In Linux too (Ubuntu) the Extended #1 is partition #4 and being
splited into logical partition #5 and #6. Basically what you write
Ian, but you missed the #4: /dev/ada0s4 is the ext drive itself, and
within would be ada0s5 and s6...
