This is the way the disk is labelled. blocks/sector: 512 sectors/track: 32 tracks/cylinder: 9 sectors/cylinder: 288 cylinders: 813 5 partitions: size offset type bsize fsize cpg a: 13824 0 4.2BSD 512 4096 16 b: 40320 13824 swap c: 233856 0 unused d: 165888 54432 4.2BSD 512 4096 16 e: 13824 220320 4.2BSD 512 4096 16 When I newfs the a,d and e partitions and mount them I get a problem. If I newfs the a partition first and then the d partition, then when I mount them they both behave as the d partition and if I newfs the d first and mount them they behave as the a partition. I can newfs the h partition and mount it separately with no problem. What am I doing wrong. Help me before I go insane.
