-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just bought a new WD SATA drive: WDC WD5000YS-01MPB1 09.02E09 Tried to disklabel it, and it gives me all kinds of warnings when I look at it after running the disklabel: ganymede# bsdlabel -w ad4s1 auto ganymede# bsdlabel ad4s1c # /dev/ad4s1c: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 976767986 79 unused 0 0 c: 976768002 63 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit partition a: partition extends past end of unit partition c: partition extends past end of unit bsdlabel: partition c doesn't start at 0! bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities Even if I try to use /stand/sysinstall to do the fdisk, the end result has 'issues' ... So, what is the generally accepted method of label'ng a new drive? :( - ---- Marc G.
