Hi,
originally I had the following labels on my ad0 disk (no partitions,
directly labeled /dev/ad0):
# /dev/ad0:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 1048576 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 46248
c: 1048576 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part,
don't edit
Since this was written from a file image the my compact flash card,
and the card has now 8GB instead of 512MB, I wanted to grow the labels
after having booted the system, and that worked. So now it is:
# /dev/ad0:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 15662304 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 46248
c: 15662304 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part,
don't edit
But unfortunately, I also grew label 'a', although I did not grow the
filesystem. What I actually wanted was to stay 'a' the size it is and
add new labels. So I tried to shrink 'a' again, to finally have
something like:
# /dev/ad0:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 1048576 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 46248
c: 15662304 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part,
don't edit
before adding new labels. But somehow bsdlabel has no effect when
shrinking 'a'. No error or verbose message, the labels are just the
same before running it, whether I use the edit mode or restore mode.
Am I not supposed to shrink a label like that?
Cheers,
Anselm
