There is a bug in the e2fsprogs port. The fact that they are getting 0 blocks implies that they are not getting good results from the disklabel. (Fact: There is none). I looked at the source code and it seems they don't even try to use the DIOCGMEDIASIZE ioctl; is there a reason for this? If you're a programmer, look into it. If you're not, bug me and I'll do it :-) -- Josh > > > Thanks, > > Wayne > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
