Hello:
The situation is like this:
I'm running FBSD 2.1.7.1 and nowadays I have the following disks:
[1003]ns3:/root>df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/wd0a 31775 14178 15055 48% /
/dev/wd0s1f 889663 556207 262283 68% /usr
/dev/wd0s1e 29727 14133 13216 52% /var
procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc
/dev/wd1s1e 1887023 1550325 185737 89% /proxy
/dev/sd0s1e 4121543 2958938 832882 78% /proxy2
sd0 is:
(ahc0:0:0): "SEAGATE ST34371W 0484" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 4148MB (8496884 512 byte sectors)
I bought another disk, exactly as sd0. When the systems boots, it shows:
ahc0 <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int a irq 10 on pci0:11
ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs
ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle
(ahc0:0:0): "SEAGATE ST34371W 0484" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 4148MB (8496884 512 byte sectors)
(ahc0:1:0): "SEAGATE ST34371W 0484" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd1(ahc0:1:0): Direct-Access 4148MB (8496884 512 byte sectors)
I followed the FAQ instructions in order to add it to the system:
I've ran /stand/sysinstall and I was able to succesfully fdisk:
[1009]ns3:/var/log>fdisk /dev/sd0
******* Working on device /dev/sd0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=6659 heads=116 sectors/track=11 (1276 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=6659 heads=116 sectors/track=11 (1276 blks/cyl)
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 0 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 0, size 8496884 (4148 Meg), flag 80
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 11/ head 115
The data for partition 1 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
[1010]ns3:/var/log>fdisk /dev/sd1

But I can't disklabel the disk.
This is sd0:
# /dev/sd0:
type: SCSI
disk: sd0s1
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 11
tracks/cylinder: 232
sectors/cylinder: 2552
cylinders: 3329
sectors/unit: 8496884
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]
c: 8496884 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 3329*)
e: 8496884 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 3329*)
This is sd1:
disklabel -r /dev/sd1
# /dev/sd1:
type: SCSI
disk: sd1s1
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 11
tracks/cylinder: 116
sectors/cylinder: 1276
cylinders: 6659
sectors/unit: 8496884
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]
c: 8496884 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 6658)
When I try newfs:
[1039]ns3:/var/log>newfs /dev/sd1
newfs: /dev/sd1: not a character-special device
newfs: /dev/sd1: `1' partition is unavailable
The disk is phisically fine (I DOS-formatted and it was usable).
One of the messagesI got was:
Jan 6 09:04:03 ns3 /kernel: sd1: invalid primary partition table: no magic
Does any one know why I just can't put it to work, beeing this
exactly the same disk as sd0?
Thanks in advance for your help and time, and sorry for the tons
of bytes in this mail, but I wanted to provide as much information as
possible.
Kind regards,
