Message-ID: <CppBt8.A4C@world.std.com> Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA Date: Thu, 12 May 1994 18:10:19 GMT Lines: 33 I'm sure that this is a fairly straight forward question, so I'll make it a little more complex. I added a second drive - a duplicate of my primary drive (ie - added a wd1 with the same specs as wd0). I did a disktab -r -w wd1 QUANTUM_LPS to label the disk (disktab information to follow). This set the drive up with several partions of various size (root, swap, etc). However, /dev/wd1c and /dev/wd1d seemed to be the "whole drive" in one partition, which is what I want to mount. I then do a "mount /dev/wd1c /usr2" to mount the disk... The problems I'm having are: 1.) Is it really "safe" to do this? I newfs'ed the drive, and it seems to be working ok. Even test reads/writes work fine so far. I just don't want to dump a bunch of data on there, and have it go bad. 2.) When I do a df to see how much space I have, I get slightly more than 100,000 1K "blocks" on the drive, 0 used (the drive is still empty, so this number seems ok),, then 93,000 or so blocked free. Why is there the 7000 or so difference? Just wondering... BTW, heres the disktab entry.: QUANTUM_LPS|FreeBSD installation generated:\ :dt=ST506:ty=winchester:\ :nc#901:ns#17:nt#15:\ :se#512:\ :pa#30600:oa#255:ta=4.2BSD:ba#4096:fa#512:\ :pb#17850:ob#30855:tb=swap:\ :pc#229500:oc#255:\ :pe#181050:oe#48705:te=4.2BSD:be#4096:fe#512:\ :pd#229755:od#0: Modifications are always welcome. -Brian
