The problem I seem to have is installing a second hard drive for using just for the location /usr/news/articles/spool. I have a Seagate SCSI 2.1G (ST32151N) Hard drive which the drivers can find, the problem is after following the procedure outline at www.freebsd.org I get to divide partition according to taste, so I select to have the WHOLE drive dedicated for the mount point said above. The procedure say write it out, guess what happens now??? I get a system core dump. The debug file doesn't shed any light either. I am running Freebsd 2.1.6 (stable) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ricky Chan: Email: ricky@come.net.uk Web: http://www.come.net.uk/~ricky
