This is a second drive in the system, connected as a slave to the first IDE drive. It's an IBM Deskstar 34GXP, DPTA-373420. I apologize for the length of the message but I did want to demonstrate that I followed the previous suggestions and was getting the right responses. Here's the output from /var/log/messages: Apr 14 16:22:16 amanda /kernel: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa Apr 14 16:22:16 amanda /kernel: wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): Apr 14 16:22:16 amanda /kernel: wd0: 12971MB (26564832 sectors), 26354 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S Apr 14 16:22:16 amanda /kernel: wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): Apr 14 16:22:17 amanda /kernel: wd1: 32634MB (66835440 sectors), 66305 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S I issued the command "fdisk wd1" and received the following: amanda# fdisk wd1 ******* Working on device /dev/rwd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=66305 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=66305 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 0, size 66835440 (32634 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0; end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 15 The data for partition 2 is: The data for partition 3 is: The data for partition 4 is: I then issued the command "disklabel wd1s1" and received the following: amanda# disklabel wd1s1 # /dev/rwd1s1c: type: ESDI disk: wd1s1 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 16 sectors/cylinder: 1008 cylinders: 66305 sectors/unit: 66835440 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: 66835440 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 66304) OK, so far so good. I can then mount the drive without any problems: amanda# mount /dev/wd1s1c /dump which returns without any errors. Here's the big problem, I try to run "newfs" with the following command, and when I get to the same block each time, 66781216, the machine reboots itself. Here's the output from the command: amanda# newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/wd1s1c newfs: /dev/wd1s1c: not a character-special device Warning: 3088 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated /dev/wd1s1c: 66835440 sectors in 16318 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors 32634.5MB in 1020 cyl groups (16 c/g, 32.00MB/g, 7936 i/g) super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: 32, 65568, 131104, 196640, 262176, 327712, 393248, 458784, 524320, 589856, ... 65601568, 65667104, 65732640, 65798176, 65863712, 65929248, 65994784, 66060320, 66125856, 66191392, 66256928, 66322464, 66388000, 66453536, 66519072, 66584608, 66650144, 66715680, 66781216, If anybody has any information or pointers on where I can find the solution, I would VERY much appreciate it.
