Greetings, all. I seek enlightenment :) Machine: standard-issue PCI Pentium box, FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE Adaptec 1542 with a Seagate drive at 0 (boot disk) WD EIDE drive off on-board IDE controller. IDE drive is disabled in the BIOS, which is how the box boots off sd0. sd0 is a dedicated drive. So, the question - I'm trying to build a single ufs filesystem with the unused space on the EIDE drive. The drive has a small primary M$-D0G partition. I RTFAQ, which suggests using sysinstall to add the partition & the disklabel and then run newfs. However, disklabel from sysinstall hurls either because: a) It wants something to mount at /, or b) It can't mount something at /, since it's already in use. I'm at a loss on what 'type' to provide disklabel from the command line. The output from 'disklabel -r wd0s2' is below. This is probably hosed since I tried various things. Would some kind soul(s) explain to me how one goes about this (seemingly) simple procedure? Many thanks. ^mi --- disklabel -r wd0s2 --- # /dev/rwd0s2: type: ESDI disk: wd0s2 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 64 sectors/cylinder: 4032 cylinders: 610 sectors/unit: 2459520 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 2459520 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 609) e: 2459520 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 609) ---
