If these commands work, could you post the output of `fdisk ad3' and `fdisk ad3sX' where `X' is each extended partition in ad3? I haven't looked at the code, but the most likely explanation is that you have an extended partition within an extended partition that has the `start' set to 0. That would cause this error because the extended partition points at itself. Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
