Everything is fine. So now I go to /dev and: sh MAKEDEV aacd4 sh MAKEDEV aacd5 and it makes the devices just fine - as in _all_ of them - aacd4, aacd4[a-h], and aacd4s1[a-h] So that is perfect. Then I start /stand/sysinstall and fdisk can now see the additional two drives, I fdisk them, and then I label them and then I quit /stand/sysinstall. Then I edit /etc/fstab and put in entries: /dev/aacd4s1e /mnt4 ufs rw 2 2 and then I reboot. Here is the part that makes NO sense whatsoever. When I reboot, for each of the two drives, I get: Can't open /dev/aacd4s1e: Invalid argument /dev/aacd4s1e: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM /dev/aacd4s1e: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY Can't open /dev/aacd4s1e: Device not configured --- this confuses me because, of course, the device _is_ configured. Is this because I exited /stand/sysinstall without committing and didn't do the newfs operation ? or things like that ? If so, I can solve this two ways, but I need help as I don't know how to do these things: 1. somehow exit /stand/sysinstall in a way that does the newfs and things without actually installing anything... 2. do the newfs (or whatever I need to do) on the command line .. what commands do I need to run ? The good news is, I can use all six disks with the PERC raid controller... --PT To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
