[-- Attachment #1 --] so... everyting started when i bought that damn USB Floppy, and tried to make a bootable diskette in the middle of the night, and of course i've mistyped fdisk/disklabel 'da0' with 'ad0', wiping out the disklabel. This happened on my laptop running -current. Hopefully i had a machine with 5.2-release next to me, so i removed the laptop HDD and attached it to it. Thanks to scan_ffs i was able to restore the disklabel, but i've made a typo entering the size of the 'c'(raw) partition. Disklabel complained that the c part. doesn't cover the whole device, but in the hurry i forgot about this, and attached the disk again to the laptop. It booted normaly and everyting was ok, and then i decided to fix the c partition size. I dumped the disklabel in text file, edited the c part to the proper size and when i tried to write it back, disklabel printed out this message : "disklabel: Geom not found" and didn't update the label. This happened on the laptop running -current, so i suppose this has something to do with the geom-ification in current :) but i don't have idea how to fix it? any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Niki [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBO7zNHNAJ/fLbfrkRAgXgAKCJs4SrsfR0XK4NlX0Km02RgfzwewCgoo9z HhRo5411tzOVnbHACUoVrrI= =tlQ4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
