I want to move my FBSD partitions to one larger HD. Shouldn't be hard. ;-) The system recognises my new HD at ad2 ad0: 8063MB <WDC WD84AA> [16383/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA66 ad1: 8056MB <ST38421A> [16368/16/63] at ata0-slave UDMA66 ad2: 19470MB <QUANTUM FIREBALLlct20 20> [39560/16/63] at ata1-master UDMA100 acd0: CD-RW <SONY CD-RW CRX140E> at ata1-slave PIO4 BUT when I try to initialise ad2 ... :-( root@BAPhD ~ #fdisk -BI ad2 ******* Working on device /dev/ad2 ******* root@BAPhD ~ #Jan 18 15:21:19 BAPhD /kernel: ad2: cannot find label (no disk label) Jan 18 15:21:19 BAPhD /kernel: ad2s1: cannot find label (no disk label) root@BAPhD ~ #disklabel -w ad2 auto disklabel: No space left on device root@BAPhD ~ #Jan 18 15:21:52 BAPhD /kernel: ad2: cannot find label (no disk label) Jan 18 15:21:52 BAPhD /kernel: ad2s1: cannot find label (no disk label) Jan 18 15:21:52 BAPhD /kernel: ad2: cannot find label (no disk label) Jan 18 15:21:52 BAPhD /kernel: ad2s1: cannot find label (no disk label) I looked at the drive using Partition Magic v7 (using Windoze - ouch!) which recognised the drive as FBSD/386. Thought I would change this to unformatted in the hope this might help, then rebooted. Same result as above. :-( At this point I thought I had better ask for help! :-) -- Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
