To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Wed, 20 Mar 1996 16:55:27 +1538425 (MET) Generate-Delivery-Report: Yes X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL21] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi there I am trying to add a further AT disk to my FreeBSD system, and it's not going as easy as I thought. Am I correct in my assumptions that one has to use: 1. fdisk 2. disklabel 3. newfs. This is what I have been trying to do, the only problem is, fdisk gets the correct parameters for the disk, disklabel does not have a clue what I am trying to do, and newfs then writes a fs of about a third of my disk. Any ideas, ...., greatly appreciated.
