I was following the question of problems mounting a drive and now, I'm
having some of the same problems. This is a second drive in the system,
connected as a slave to the first IDE drive. It's an IBM Deskstar 34GXP,
DPTA-373420. I apologize for the length of the message but I did want to
demonstrate that I followed the previous suggestions and was getting the
right responses. Here's the output from /var/log/messages:
Apr 14 16:22:16 amanda /kernel: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
Apr 14 16:22:16 amanda /kernel: wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <WDC WD136AA>
Apr 14 16:22:16 amanda /kernel: wd0: 12971MB (26564832 sectors), 26354
cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
Apr 14 16:22:16 amanda /kernel: wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): <IBM-DPTA-373420>
Apr 14 16:22:17 amanda /kernel: wd1: 32634MB (66835440 sectors), 66305
cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
I issued the command "fdisk wd1" and received the following:
amanda# fdisk wd1
******* Working on device /dev/rwd1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=66305 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=66305 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 0, size 66835440 (32634 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 15
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
I then issued the command "disklabel wd1s1" and received the following:
amanda# disklabel wd1s1
# /dev/rwd1s1c:
type: ESDI
disk: wd1s1
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 16
sectors/cylinder: 1008
cylinders: 66305
sectors/unit: 66835440
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0 # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds
drivedata: 0
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
c: 66835440 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 66304)
OK, so far so good. I can then mount the drive without any problems:
amanda# mount /dev/wd1s1c /dump
which returns without any errors.
Here's the big problem, I try to run "newfs" with the following command,
and when I get to the same block each time, 66781216, the machine reboots
itself. Here's the output from the command:
amanda# newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/wd1s1c
newfs: /dev/wd1s1c: not a character-special device
Warning: 3088 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/wd1s1c: 66835440 sectors in 16318 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors

66584608,
66650144, 66715680, 66781216,
If anybody has any information or pointers on where I can find the
solution, I would VERY much appreciate it.
Thanks,
Oscar
