Every message pertaining to this drive while booting is the same as da0 which has been the same since the inception of this system. I would like to do fsck on /dev/da1s1e but I get a device not configured error, and by the way mounting it this way makes me nervous too, that's why I have now changed the drive. I have this one packed and ready to ship to Seagate. For informational purposes fdisk of /dev/da1 brings up a screen with no data on the drive at all. disklabel /dev/da1 shows everything to be in place. I can't remember if I tried disklabel /dev/da1s1. Any way, the new drive went right to work. I uncommented /dev/da1s1e in /etc/fstab and immediately did a backup operation. Al is well. We will see what Seagate says about the situation ;_) Thanks to everyone who tried to help, Confused Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
