I recently installed 2.1.0 on a new disk. When I run fsck and
then mount an old file system, one created under 1.1.5, I get
these warnings:
niss# fsck /dev/rsd2a
sd2: raw partition size != slice size
sd2: start 0, end 665153, size 665154
sd2c: start 0, end 660141, size 660141
** /dev/rsd2a
** Last Mounted on /mnt
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups
1395 files, 13418 used, 6341 free (293 frags, 756 blocks, 1.5% fragmentation)
Casual examination of the code in kern/subr_diskslice.c, the
source of the errors, seem to indicate this is a `harmless'
warning. However, I have misgivings about ignoring any
warning.
Is it safe to use these file systems as they are? Or will they
gradually degrade if I use them in read/write mode?
Thanks,
Scott
