Any idea why my partitions (da0s1a, da0s1d, da0s1e) don't have valid disk labels? # disklabel -A da0s1d | more disklabel: /dev/da0s1d: no valid label found # disklabel -A da0s1e | more disklabel: /dev/da0s1e: no valid label found I created the partitions and mount points when installing the os using the standard GUI. -Rishi Dan Nelson wrote: >In the last episode (Dec 04), Rishi Chopra said: > > >>Trying to enlarge a partition (/usr) on a slice (da0s1) with plenty of >>space: >> >># fdisk >> >>The data for partition 1 is: >>sysid 165 (0xa5), (FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) >> start 63, size 1171861362 (572197 Meg), flag 80 (active) >> beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1 >> end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 >> >># df -h: >> >>Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on >>/dev/da0s1a 193M 80M 98M 45% / >>/dev/da0s1d 193M 5.9M 172M 3% /var >>/dev/da0s1e 1.9G 670M 1.1G 37% /usr >> >>But when I try: >> >># umount /usr >># growfs /dev/da0s1e >> >> > >You need to extend your e slice (with disklabel -e da0s1) first. >You've got three "container" objects: Fdisk slices, BSD partitions, and >filesystem.
