At startup FreeBSD recognises them as amrd0 (RAID-5 with 4 disks) and amrd1 (RAID-0 with 1 disk). Now I want to partition the amrd1 as 1 slice with 1 partition in it (just to store data on it). But when I try in fdisk to write the changes to disk, it says it is unable to write the changes. Now I can't do anything with the disk. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Marco -- It is always preferable to visit home with a friend. Your parents will not be pleased with this plan, because they want you all to themselves and because in the presence of your friend, they will have to act like mature human beings ... -- Playboy, January 1983 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
