Re: fsck -F

scripts check this and add appropriate flags to the invocation of fsck (or in the case of /fastboot don't invoke it). You must be talking about another OS. FreeBSD's shutdown doesnt have -F or -f flag. -- :{ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Andy Farkas System Administrator Speednet Communications

Re: marking bad blocks on a hard disk drive

mark on mine. The bad section was about 20-30MB long. Knowing this, I can now setup partitions around the bad bit. I created a 5.5 gig partition 1, a 1 gig partition 2 (the bad bits), and 1.5 gig partition 3. Hope that helps. -- :{ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Andy Farkas System

Re: dd syntax

the command dd if=freebsd5.1.bin of=/dev/ad2 Both harddrives are exactly the same, so hopefully the following steps should work, correct? Yep, thats exactly what you do. Add a 'bs=64k' to the dd command line for better copying efficiency. -- :{ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Andy Farkas System
