X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Message-ID: <102933852198.20010427135836@arcadia.spb.ru> To: All Subject: Problems with two equal HDDs Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello All, SORRY FOR PREVIOUS INCOMPLETE POST. I need to install FreeBSD 4.3 on computer with two equal HDDs IBM DTLA 307030. HDDs was bought in one store, in one time. BIOS sees this disks with same geometry, but FreeBSD's fdsik sees it as: ad0 -- 3737/255/63 ad2 -- 59560/16/63 (BIOS show this for both,and HDD's stickers says this) But I need to use these HDDs for mirror, so I need equal geometry. Ok, I know, about [G] button in fdisk, but I want understand -- Why these HDDs are detected differently by fdisk?! -- Best regards, Lev mailto:Lev.Serebryakov@arcadia.spb.ru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
