Hi,
I have a virtual machine on Hyper-V running 12.1-RELEASE-p2. Root is
mounted on /dev/da0s1a. Now we have converted the disk image from .vhdx to
.vmdk to use it on a VMware workstation. Now the BSD partitions
disappeared, but the thing still boots, but from /dev/ada0s1. Of course I
cannot see the swap partition anymore.
gpart show da0 on the old image shows:
=3D> 63 62914497 da0 MBR (30G)
63 1 - free - (512B)
64 62914495 1 freebsd [active] (30G)
62914559 1 - free - (512B)
and gpart show da0s1:
=3D> 0 62914495 da0s1 BSD (30G)
0 58720256 1 freebsd-ufs (28G)
58720256 3145728 2 freebsd-swap (1.5G)
61865984 1048511 - free - (512M)
on the new image gpart show ada0:
=3D> 63 62914497 da0 MBR (30G)
63 1 - free - (512B)
64 62914495 1 freebsd [active] (30G)
62914559 1 - free - (512B)
and gpart show ada0s1:
gpart: No such geom: ada0s1.
What happened? The conversion process is supposed to make a 1:1 copy of
the disk image.
Cheers,
harti
