Disk: da0 Partition name: da0 Free: 0 blocks (0MB) Part Mount Size Newfs Part Mount Size Newfs ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- da0d 34985MB * I go to delete da0d, create new, but it won't write. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of James Taylor Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2003 2:51 PM To: sparc64@FreeBSD.org Subject: Can't write partition information I have three disks, da0,da1 and da2 I'm trying to create new partitions for. Disklabel doesn't work, so I'm running sysinstall. I was able to re-partition the drives in the past, but I've created/deleted each probably 2 or 3 times now. Now, whenever I try and write updated partition data, I'm getting "Error: Unable to write data to disk da0!". Same thing goes for disks da1 and da2. Not doing anything too exotic here in the layout either. Pretty basic actually: Disk: da1 Partition name: da1 Free: 0 blocks (0MB) Part Mount Size Newfs Part Mount Size Newfs ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- da1d /b 34985MB UFS1+S Y No matter what I do, it keeps telling me it's unable to write data to the disks. Any ideas on this one? _______________________________________________ freebsd-sparc64@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-sparc64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-sparc64-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
