The first one is on the motherboard's IDE controller (and thus is ad0), and is setup as: slice 1: windows 2k slice 2: redhat linux slice 3: freebsd 4.0 install (slightly after 4.0-release) slice 4: freebsd Second disk is on a promise controller PCI card (and thus is ad4), and is setup as: slice 1: redhat linux slice 2: freebsd 4.0-stable install (from last week) slice 3: marked as openbsd, but actually nothing in it at the moment... When I boot up the ad4s2a system, I do mount a partition from the ad0 drive. As it happens, both of those linux partitions used to be freebsd, before being redone as linux. In both cases, linux is installed into "extended linux partitions" (in the DOS sense of the word "partition"). So, that's the background. Here's the question. Why do I get the following errors at startup? ad4s1: raw partition size != slice size ad4s1: start 63, end 3686255, size 3686193 ad4s1c: start 63, end 14329727, size 14329665 ad4s1: truncating raw partition ad4s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice ad4s1: start 63, end 3686255, size 3686193 ad4s1a: start 14123071, end 14329727, size 206657 ad4s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice ad4s1g: start 2048063, end 8601662, size 6553600 ad4s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice ad4s1h: start 8601663, end 14123070, size 5521408 and ad0s2: raw partition size != slice size ad0s2: start 5333580, end 10233404, size 4899825 ad0s2c: start 5333580, end 19663559, size 14329980 ad0s2: truncating raw partition ad0s2: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice ad0s2: start 5333580, end 10233404, size 4899825 ad0s2g: start 7586380, end 14139979, size 6553600 ad0s2: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice ad0s2h: start 14139980, end 19663559, size 5523580 ad0s2: raw partition size != slice size ad0s2: start 5333580, end 10233404, size 4899825 ad0s2c: start 5333580, end 19663559, size 14329980 ad0s2: truncating raw partition ad0s2: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice ad0s2: start 5333580, end 10233404, size 4899825 ad0s2g: start 7586380, end 14139979, size 6553600 ad0s2: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice ad0s2h: start 14139980, end 19663559, size 5523580 These say they are complaining about "partitions in BSD label", but they are complaining about something in the *linux* partitions. As near as I can tell, everything is working fine, but these messages are a little unnerving. Is there something I could do to get rid of those errors, without damaging anything in those linux installs? --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
