Hi,
I am trying to reuse an old DOS extended partition to extend my FreeBSD
diskspace. My primary FreeBSD partition is wd0s3, the partition I am
trying
to use is wd0s6.
The disktools only seem aimed at installing onto primary partitions so I
am
using disklabel etal. However, with no luck, when I try to label the
disk I
get:
putte:~# disklabel -w -r wd0s6 auto
disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument
disklabel: auto: unknown disk type
Any other suggestions as to how to do this?
Regards/Mark
