After the disklabel I found that some partitions caused Device not configured I had to change some of the fstab entries /dev/sd0b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sd0f /export/swap ufs rw 1 1 /dev/sd0e /u5 ufs rw 1 1 This fixes the "Device not configured" errors for these partitions. sd0 label --------- # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 65536 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 31) b: 131072 65536 swap # (Cyl. 32 - 95) c: 1309896 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 639*) e: 292864 196608 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 96 - 238) f: 820424 489472 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 239 - 639*) What has the disklabel command done that would cause the "Device not configured" messages? -- regards Dept. of Electrical Engineering, Clary Harridge University of Queensland, QLD, Australia, 4072 Phone: +61-7-3365-3636 Fax: +61-7-3365-4999 INTERNET: clary@elec.uq.edu.au
