Hello,
I've got a 5.3-RELEASE box which has a /usr partition /dev/ad0s1e that
is to small by approximately 700 mb. I've got the space on /var /dev/ad0s1d
to do a resize, but i am unsure as to the procedure. I tried this once a
while back on a test box and lost everything. If anyone has done
list archive in case somebody else stumbles
across it:
I finally realized what the problem was. It had nothing to do with
partitions with names g and above. The issue is that the information
that geom_label looks for when tasting a device is stored in the last
block (or close to it - at the end
If I do:
glabel label somelabel /dev/ad1s1g
geom_label labels /dev/ad1 instead of /dev/ad1s1g[1]. However
labeling /dev/ad1s1{a,b,d,e,f} worked fine. But /dev/ad1s1{g,h}
does not (and probably not the rest above h either).
Any idea what to do about it?
I did some cursory checks to make sure

Is it the correct way to delete the partitions?
First guess is not having permission.
It should be done in single user mode.
Second guess is the partition you want to delete is
mounted

Don't fix anything. It's more likely that just Partition Magic that

I choose to use the entire disk during freebsd install. Ok, that creates 1 really
large slice correct? Now within this slice how may partitions cam there be? I tried
setting up /root /tmp /home /var /usr /sandbox/ /private /storage . after adding
sandbox and attempting to add /private

Hi,
I am using FreeBSD 5 Release and after the system is installed i cant create any slice
or label using /stand/sysinstall. I can do that when I boot from the instalation CD
and everything works fins with FreeBSD 5 DP1. What am I doing wrong?___
first need to use them.
In /dev, I have da0, da0c, da1, da1s1, da1s1b, da1s1c, da2, da2s1, da2s1c,
da2s1d, da2s1e, da3, da3s1, da3s1c, da3s1d
If I do an fdisk da0 partitions 1-3 are UNUSED and everything is on
partition 4, but fdisk da1 through da3 it's partition 1 that has data, and
partitions 2

I don't know of one directly. But you can backup/recreate/restore. Or,
if you have enough space on the first partition, you can copy everything
from the second to the first, delete
only able to mount the root slice using
/dev/ad0s1 (command: mount /dev/ad0s1 /obsd ). I get same results if I
mount /dev/ad0s3 to /obsd.
Is it possible at all to be able to access (readonly is okay)
the openbsd partitions (/usr /home etc.) from freebsd ?
Thanks
Amit
P.S. The disklabel
)
the openbsd partitions (/usr /home etc.) from freebsd ?
Thanks
Amit
P.S. The disklabel command from openbsd does print out the 16 partitions:
/obsd/sbin/disklabel -r /dev/ad0
# using MBR partition 0: type A6 off 63 (0x3f) size 10233342 (0x9c25fe)
# /dev/ad0:
type: ESDI
disk: ESDI/IDE disk
Is there a tool on the FreeBSD CD I can use to combine 2 partitions(BSD
and/or FAT).
Thanks...

Doing another experimental 5.0-REL install where I mucked things up due to
partitioning by-hand. This is now becoming a learning experience on fixit et

hard way
