Hi all,
Could some kind soul(s) out there please tell me how they go about
disklabeling their zip drives? I changed the partition type on my zip
cartridge from DOS (6) to FreeBSD (165) but can't figure out how to get
disklabel to put a label on it. This is on a scsi zip drive running
3.0-stable (of 2/9).
Here's what fdisk tells me about the disk:
******* Working on device /dev/rda3 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=96 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=96 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 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:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 32, size 196576 (95 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 95/ sector 32/ head 63
And here is the output of various failed attempts at disklabeling:
root@luke-p7 /dev> disklabel -r da3s4
disklabel: bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled)
root@luke-p7 /dev> disklabel -r da3
disklabel: bad pack magic number (label is damaged, or pack is unlabeled)
root@luke-p7 /dev> disklabel -wr da3s4 zip100
disklabel: No space left on device
root@luke-p7 /dev> disklabel -w da3s4 zip100
disklabel: No space left on device
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,
Bob
