I just installed an old Quantum IDE drive as a second drive (model LPS540A). I wanted to have a swap partition and two ufs filesystems using the entire disk in dedicated mode. I kept getting errors when newfs was run on the second filesystem, wd2s1f. I tried it in non-dedicated mode but was getting the same errors about bad parameters. What is wrong here? This is the -current 122597 SNAP by the way. Finally, I made a small DOS partition and then used the rest for FreeBSD. This seemed to work, and in fact I am using the disk with the swap and two filesystems now. However, when I boot up, I get the following messages: wd2s1: raw partition size != slice size wd2s1: start 63, end 32255, size 32193 wd2s1c: start 63, end 1056383, size 1056321 wd2s1: truncating raw partition wd2s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice wd2s1: start 63, end 32255, size 32193 wd2s1b: start 63, end 131134, size 131072 wd2s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice wd2s1e: start 131135, end 593982, size 462848 wd2s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice wd2s1f: start 593983, end 1056383, size 462401 What does this mean and should I be concerned? What do I have to do to make this disk formatted a little cleaner? For what it is worth, I was following the steps of adding a disk that I saw somewhere in the documentation on the FreeBSD Web site. Thanks for your help. -- Glenn Johnson gljohns@bellsouth.net
