All I want to do is add another EXACT same SCSI drive to my FBSD box.
It is 100% same as the main drive.
I basically want to match the slices on the main drive 100%
(the main drive is da0s1)
# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a 588590 30080 511424 6% /
/dev/da0s1e 9072366 745870 7600708 9% /usr
/dev/da0s1f 2519902 388 2317922 0% /var
/dev/da0s1g 1032142 8674 940898 1% /test
/dev/da0s1h 2620862 24598 2386596 1% /home
/dev/da0s1d 1032618 3218 946792 0% /scratch
-------------
So I did this:
#fdisk -BI da1
#disklabel -w -B da1s1 auto
#disklabel -e da1s1
No errors and I edited the disklabel and basically 'copied' how the
other drive was setup (since they are exactly the same and all)....
So far so good.
Until I tried to 'newfs' the new slice(s):
# newfs /dev/rda1s1a
Warning: Block size and bytes per inode restrict cylinders per group to 92.
/dev/rda1s1a: 1196032 sectors in 292 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors
584.0MB in 4 cyl groups (92 c/g, 184.00MB/g, 18560 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
32, 376864, 753696, 1130528
From looking at this, at least I know my disklabel is correct.
Here is my disklabel (relavent part)
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 1196032 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 92 # (Cyl. 0 - 74*)
Now, this value came from the 'main drive' and was setup this way from install.
I come from a solaris/OpenBSD scene and have never had to deal with
anything other than "warning unalloctacted sectors....." stuff.
Can anyone shed some light here for me?
I have looked at the FAQ and search google, but most of the questions asked
are about floppies.
btw, I can 'dd' the drive just fine (they both have the exact same cyl's)
# dd if=/dev/rda0s1c of=/dev/rda1s1c bs=1048576
that results in no errors, and presumably a cloned drive...but I really
want to know how to FIX this?
TIA...
