Hi!
I am trying to set a third slice in my system, but i cannot update what
the system see from the disk.
I have two slices: wd0s1(ms) and wd0s2 (freebsd), so i decide to add a
wd0s3 entry!
I am using fdisk utility to perform such a action, but when i try to use
disklabel, i does not work!
Here is my fdisk.conf file:
g c1027 h255 s63
p 1 11 63 4112577
p 2 165 4112640 8225280
p 3 165 12337920 1606500
#p 3 0 0 0
p 4 0 0 0
a 2
I use the following command line: fdisk -f fdisk.conf wd0
What is strange is that the /stand/sysinstall utility (in the fdisk
section) does show a new slice there, but when i issue a fdisk i get:
******* Working on device /dev/rwd0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1027 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1027 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 11,(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT)
start 63, size 4112577 (2008 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 255/ sector 63/ head 254
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 4112640, size 8225280 (4016 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 256/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 767/ sector 63/ head 254
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 12337920, size 1606500 (784 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 768/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 867/ sector 63/ head 254
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
How can it be? fdisk shows it perfectly, but sysinstall fails to detect
it!
The rest is obvious: i cannot even use disklabel onto it!
Can any wizard help me?
My system is:
