Hi,
Wehever I try to change the disklabel for da2s2 or try to directy
write to /dev/da2s2 if fails and prints this weird error:
dscheck(#da/0x30012): fixlabel: invalid magic
Grep'ing the error message in the sources it leads to this snipped of
code in kern/subr_diskslice.c in function fixlabel() (line 855):
/* These errors "can't happen" so don't bother reporting details. */
if (lp->d_magic != DISKMAGIC || lp->d_magic2 != DISKMAGIC)
return ("fixlabel: invalid magic");
if (dkcksum(lp) != 0)
return ("fixlabel: invalid checksum");
Could someone please reveal the mistery behind this "vodoo" code ?
Any cause leading to this ?
Thanks,
Ady (@freebsd.ady.ro)
