To: freebsd-hackers@freefall.FreeBSD.org (freebsd-hackers) Date: Tue, 29 Aug 1995 16:50:18 -0500 (CDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 544 Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Does fdisk work for others? I have not been able to get it to write anything on the disk. I run it with the -i flag and answer all the questions in the affirmative, yet upon running it again (or disklabel) the disk still has no valid partion table (at least not what I specified). This on both a 2.0.5R and a 950726-SNAP level system. All I can figure is that either fdisk is terminally broken or I am missing something very fundamental about its use. :-(( Thanks, -- Bob Willcox bob@luke.pmr.com (or obiwan%bob@uunet.uu.net) Austin, TX
