(This might fix it anyway, though you could have been clearer about what exact messages you got.) Just do # ed /etc/fstab %s/wd0s3/wd0s4/g wq # making a backup of fstab before you do that might be a good idea, though it isn't the hardest file to recreate if you screw up. You may also have to change your dumpdev setting in /etc/rc.conf if you have set it. -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
