FreeBSD dt0.int.harapartners.com 9.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #0 r230201: Mon Jan 16 10:10:05 CET 2012 root@box.vx.sk:/usr/obj/bsd/releng_9_0/sys/GENERIC amd64
>Description:
1. Connected USB disk to system and it appeared as /dev/da4.
2. Started SADE and set the entire disk as a FreeBSD partation (165)
3. Went to label section and tried to create a single partition. Writing it resulted in failure and the device node was never created.
4. sade also dumped core a couple of times. I can not say exactly why.
Here is a session of trying to get a filesystem on the disk using sade:
---------------------------cut here---------------------------------------
[root@dt0 /home/wynkoop]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da4 bs=512 count=2048
2048+0 records in
2048+0 records out
1048576 bytes transferred in 0.840691 secs (1247279 bytes/sec)

[root@dt0 /home/wynkoop]# sade
