gpart mbr scheme
Hi, I'm trying to partition a compact flash card with gpart. When I want to create a new MBR scheme it always complains: - gpart create -s mbr da0 gpart: scheme 'mbr': Invalid argument The GPT scheme works fine: - gpart create -s gpt da0 da0 created - gpart show da0 = 34 8027645 da0 GPT (3.8G) 34 8027645 - free - (3.8G) - gpart destroy da0 da0 destroyed The kernel driver seems to be loaded: - kldstat -v | grep mbr 278 g_mbr 277 g_mbrext Does gpart in 7.2 not support MBR partitioning?

documentation for gpart(8)/GPT?
Is there anything - official, or unofficial but reliable - about working with gpart/GPT? I've read the man page, and am still a little wobbly.

I am most interested in creating partitions generic )non-RAID) UFS(2) filesystems.

`gpart show` and secondary GPT header
i have a question about gpart. when id do `gpart show ad0` i get the following output: = 34 488394988 ad0 GPT (233G) 34 209714861 freebsd-swap (10G) 20971520 4674235022 freebsd-ufs (223G) which is just what i want. however i'm a bit curious about the GPT header. only the primary header from 0 - 33 is being shown. what about the secondary/backup GPT header. is it present and just now shown by gpart or doesn't it exist at all? because in 7-STABLE e.g. `pt show ad0` also displays the secondary GPT header at the end of the disk. cheers. ...oh...and i'm running HEAD (r193846M). ;) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
