If you want to do it properly, use fdisk -e wd1, disklabel -E wd1, and newfs /dev/rwd1a, in that order. JoachimWhich is the short version of the New Disk FAQ: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#NewDisk
Thanks to Will & Joachim. Apologizes for not replying to message sooner. Tried using fdisk, disklabel and newfs first. Everything fine on the disk, but problem still there. Next, shutdown & disconnected wd1 cable & power, removed it from fstab & exports & rebooted, just sharing exports on wd0, & tried copying files from xp box. No help, still rebooted. Pulled the old nic, Intel 82557, & tried a 3com905c. This time, it didn't reboot when I did the file copy, with quite large files, so I thought I had the problem solved. Connected wd1 & reset the nfs shares , did a large file copy & rebooted. So, I restored the following tweaks to sysctl.conf: net.inet.tcp.keepinittime=600 # root setting tunables for nfs reboot problem net.inet.tcp.keepidle=28800 # root setting tunables for nfs reboot problem net.inet.tcp.keepintvl=600 # root setting tunables for nfs reboot problem net.inet.tcp.recvspace=65536 # root setting tunables for nfs reboot problem net.inet.tcp.sendspace=32768 # root setting tunables for nfs reboot problem net.inet.udp.recvspace=83200 # root setting tunables for nfs reboot problem net.bpf.bufsize=65536 # root setting tunables for nfs reboot problem So far, haven't rebooted again, copying large files. Here's wd1 info from fstab so everyone knows I wasn't lazy & really did the initial disk work to repair my first "newbie" job on it: /dev/wd1a on /data2 type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid) Thanks again for the help. If anyone sees something I've bunged up, please let me know, if you have the time. Denny White Please do not CC me. Already subscribed to OBSD mailing list.
