LBA mode is what i was told munched on my /usr partition last 3 times i took a crashdump. "I took a crashdump and it ate my /usr" "don't use LBA and crashdumps" "ok" Maybe i just have to disable the LBA flag in the disk line? So LBA is ok in bios but not in "flags"? -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
