I've been trying to get a new SCSI drive mounted as sd1 for the
past 2 weeks. I keep stumbling into obstacles.... It's closer
and closer, but not-quite.
Every time I reboot, dmesg prints this error:
sd1: invalid primary partition table: no magic
sd1: invalid primary partition table: no magic
Can anybody help me get rid of this error so that the mount of
sd1c is clean?
In /etc/fstab I have:
/dev/sd0a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/sd0s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sd0s1e /usr ufs rw 1 1
/dev/sd0s1f /var ufs rw 1 1
/dev/sd0s1g /usr/local ufs rw 1 1
#
## SCSI drive #2
#
/dev/sd1c /usr/local2 ufs rw 1 1
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
When the system is already booted I can mount/umount
/dev/sd1 -t ufs /mnt
/dev/sd1c -t ufs /mnt
Trying ``mount -t ufs /dev/sd1a /mnt'' fails because slice "a"
is meant for root, according to /etc/disktab:
# a == root
# b == swap
# c == d == whole disk
# e == /var
# f == scratch
# h == /usr
I can mount either sd1 or sd1c on <<wherever>> and it works.
But on rebooting, there is that ``invalid primary partition''
err. Upon coming up, however, /dev/sd1* _is_ in the mount
table. `mount' finds it.
Here is my hacked /etc/disktab entry for the drive:
ibm3720|IBM 720MB SCSI:\
:dt=SCSI:ty=winchester:se#512:nt#4:ns#91:nc#3875:rm#4500: \
:pc#1423360:oc#0: \
:tc=4.2BSD:bc#4096:fc#512:
Does this look right? Am I missing something that would allow
newfs to stick in the magic number?
If anybody has bumped into this before, please let me know.
Thanks much.
