Presuming you are using a versin of FreeBSD before 5.0 (I haven't had a chance to install a 5.x or use the new devfs stuff yet) do the following: cd /dev ./MAKEDEV da0s2a That should get you all the da0s2_ set. Then fix up your /etc/fstab file and it should all work nicely. ////jerry > But "disklabel -r /dev/da0s2" shows me > > # /dev/da0s2: > type: SCSI > disk: da0s2 > label: > flags: > bytes/sector: 512 > sectors/track: 63 > tracks/cylinder: 255 > sectors/cylinder: 16065 > cylinders: 53400 > sectors/unit: 857887002 > 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] > a: 122555286 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - > 7628*) > b: 122555286 122555286 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. > 7628*- 15257*) > c: 857887002 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - > 53400*) > d: 122555286 245110572 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. > 15257*- 22886*) > e: 122555286 367665858 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. > 22886*- 30514*) > f: 122555286 490221144 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. > 30514*- 38143*) > g: 122555286 612776430 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. > 38143*- 45772*) > h: 122555286 735331716 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. > 45772*- 53400*) > > > > and an ls /dev/da0s2* shows me only : > /dev/da0s2 > > > My question is, how do i get the device files for all my partitions, > because without them i can not use newfs. > > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
