Hi all I've strange problem with a external disk (firewire). I don't know how I can format it. I've already format this disk (on my FreeBSD box with newfs), after that I reformat this disk with Windows XP (maybe bad idea ;-) ) and now I cannot format the disk with anything When I try fdisk [root@freebsd1 rc.d]# fdisk -BI da0 ******* Working on device /dev/da0 ******* fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found fdisk: Geom not found [root@freebsd1 rc.d]# If I try to use sysinstall I can make a slice, but when I want to format the disk I go a error. If I try to format directly (without slice) it's working but I cannot mount the disk. Anyone can help me ? NB: The disk work..because I reformat it under windows XP. -- Albert SHIH Universite de Paris 7 (Denis DIDEROT) U.F.R. de Mathematiques. Heure local/Local time: Fri Mar 31 01:28:14 CEST 2006
