I ran into a snag using my HD backup script that works like a charm on FBSD-4.5-4.7, but won't when I just tried it on 4.4. The script uses Fdisk, Disklabel and Newfs. Seems to fdisk & disklabel okay, but when I try to then run the newfs on a partition, like /dev/ad2s1a, it says, "no such file or directory". Disklabel says the partition /dev/ad2s1a does indeed exist as setup. But, newfs cannot see it.
Here's the switches that work for me normally on HD setup: /sbin/fdisk -BI ad2 /sbin/disklabel -w -r -B ad2s1 auto /sbin/disklabel -R -B ad2s1 mydisk.label /sbin/newfs -U /dev/ad2s1a Are there some incompatibility changes or different switches for 4.4 that I missed...???
