Hello all, I'm trying to install a 40G Maxtor drive on my box. I can fdisk it just fine, but when I go to do a disklabel (from within sysinstall) it says it can't write it. So I tried to create the file system manually by doing: newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/wd2s1c It starts creating the superblocks just fine, but then dies off around when it reaches a high count (around 8000000 I believe) and gives me the error: panic vinvalbuf: dirty bufs sync disks: 1 1 1 1 ... Then it reboots :/ BTW, this is on a 3.3-R system.
