But I did this. Linux seems to WANT see > BSD partitions after doing so. Well, if you erased all the partitions from the disk using FreeBSD's fdisk, you can bet that the disk has no partitions. Now, if Linux fdisk continues to believe for some obscure reason that the disk *does* have partitions, your problems are somewhere else. I would tend to suspect that the support for HighPoint controllers is that is buggy, since SuSE seems to have stated this already. > Maybe we should stay with the better OS ... :-)) Yes, please do! If Linux cannot support HighPoint controllers yet, and you know that FreeBSD does, it would seem like the most reasonable thing to do. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
