Hi, I recently tried to add a Seagate 9Gb ST410800N to a previously installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 system, with no luck. I ended up doing a reinstall of the entire system and telling sysinstall to partition and label both the 2Gb system disk and the 9Gb Seagate during the install process, which did work. What is the correct method for adding another drive after the fact (I had no luck running fdisk/disklabel/newfs by themselves)? On a related note, I partitioned the new drive with two 4000Mb (slightly less than 4Gb) partitions and a smaller leftover. That seems to work, though I haven't yet filled them to capacity to make sure that there are no problems with large partitions. Should this be OK or should I not go over 2Gb, as on Unixware, where this drive came from. Thanks for any tips! -Fred
