Date: Fri, 02 May 1997 11:13:17 -0600 From: Warner Losh Message-Id: Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings, I just had to make some repairs to my OpenBSD/arc disk. I had hoped to be able to do this on my FreeSBD box. However, FreeBSD refused to allow me to mount this disk. It compained long and bitterly about how the disklabel was bogus because it referred to things outside of the slice it was on. Is there some way to tell FreeBSD "Look, I know that you don't like this disk, but just cope and pretend it is a legacy disk w/o slices, please?" A quick look at the code didn't show anything obvious that I could do. Warner "I see a emacs subr_diskslice.c diskslice_machdep.c" Losh
