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: 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: FreeBSD etosha 3.4-STABLE FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE #6: Tue Dec 21 11:58:59 EDT 1999 toor@etosha:/usr/src/sys/compile/ETOSHA i386 -- The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
