I'm trying to add a Conner SCSI disk to my system. I'm running
2.2.2-RELEASE, with an AHA-2940W controller. The drive probes as:
(ahc0:3:0): "CONNER CFP1060E SUN1.05 245C" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd1(ahc0:3:0): Direct-Access 1010MB (2070400 512 byte sectors)
However, /stand/sysinstall doesn't seem to want to work right. I can add
and write-out a partition for it (just allocating the whole disk to the
partition--both True or untrue partition entries cause the same problem,
explained below). However, when I go to label I try to make a single
filesystem for the whole drive and it gives me the error when I write it
out:
Error mounting /dev/sd1s1e on /u4 : Invalid argument
So I tried what the FAQ suggested, and did a direct disklabel -e sd1..
editing and adding the partition so my disk label looks like:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
# /dev/rsd1c:
type: SCSI
disk: sd1s1
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 3
tracks/cylinder: 36
sectors/cylinder: 108
cylinders: 19169
sectors/unit: 2070357
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: 2070357 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 -19169*)
e: 2070357 0 4.4BSD 0 0 0
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can write and save it without receiving any errors. However, viewing
the disklabel again shows that partition e has mutated to:
e: 2070357 0 System V # (Cyl. 0 -19169*)
Anybody have an idea as to what is occuring?
