Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I haven't gotten any help about this question on the USENET groups, so I'm hoping I can get some here. This seems to be a question that should be in a FAQ somewhere (but isn't), because FreeBSD is unlike any other (documented) OS I've seen in this respect. I need to add a new SCSI drive to my system. I need to know what I need to do as far as preparing the drive, formatting it, labeling it, etc. So far, I've low-level formatted it, and tried to disklabel it, but I just get an error (ioctl DIOCWDINFO: Operation not supported by device) whenever I try to save the disklabel. What am I missing? My configuration is: P75 w/ 96MB RAM, FreeBSD 2.0.5R, Adaptec 2940W with Barracuda 4GB SCSI-W drives on target 1 and target 2, and Quantux Gran Prix 4GB SCSI-2 on target 4 (SCSI-2 bus), booting off an 850MB IDE drive. Thanks for your help and suggestions. Pete Kruckenberg pete@dsw.com
