Hi all,

 

I get this when I type 

/home/paul# fdisk -u

fdisk: cannot open disk /dev/ad0: No such file or directory

 

ad0 is there because it's just booted off it.  

I have also tried this from a live CD with no active mounts.

 

This person had exactly the same problem:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=
<http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=357343>
&threadid=357343

I too had used dd to transfer from a smaller HD.

 

 

Additional info:

 

/home/paul# df -h

Thanks.
