Re: bsdlabel partiton c error message on new install
Hi, the below was resolved by rebooting the server. After a reboot the device file /dev/da0s1g has been created, however this doesnt seem completely normal as sysinstall obviously expected to see the new device file immediately. Perhaps there is a prob with my system or is there just a problem with the expectations of sysinstall?? :S cheers Andy. andys writes: Hi, ok, so I have attempted to proceed with my original task which was to create a new UFS2 parition (using sysinstall).

Re: bsdlabel partiton c error message on new install
Well its a strange one, cos mostly the free space is where it should be, the difference between the current partition c and the whole disk is very small :S. So to remedy this can I just update the size of partion c? Or am I in more trouble than that? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: bsdlabel partiton c error message on new install
HiJeremy, yep I understand what its complaining about I just dont understand how that could be wrong after doing a fresh install. The reason I was looking is because we left some space unallocated and I need to create a new slice or however you call it in BSD... cheers Andy.

bsdlabel partiton c error message on new install
Hi, on a newly installed FreeBSD 7.0 system on a dell 1950 server I see the following error from bsdlabel. Is there any known issues with this or is the only reasonable explanation that I have managed to mess it up without even knowing? :P And should I manually change the partition c to fix the prob? Is this safe to do? bsdlabel -A /dev/da0s1 # /dev/da0s1: type: SCSI disk: da0s1 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 17750 sectors/unit: 285155328 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 2097152004.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 b: 20971520 75497472 swap c: 2851536870unused0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 20971520 209715204.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 e: 20971520 419430404.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 f: 12582912 629145604.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 bsdlabel: partition c doesn't cover the whole unit! bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities thanks for any advice, Im not really confident with the FreeBSD disk management as I havent used it much, thanks Andy. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: 2 logical interfaces in same subnet, problems...
Thanks Oliver, I didnt have a test system to play with and I didnt find the ifconfig man pages very clear and it didnt specify if there could be more than one alias per interface (I already had one configured) and I didnt want to change the IP of the existing alias. But seeing that you have mutliple aliases I gave it a go and it worked fine!
