RE: ERROR: Unable to write data to disk idad1
How I solved the problem: 1) I booted the live-cd (5.2-release cd2) 2) Launched the CDROM/DVD Use the live filesystem CDROM/DVD 3) Launched /stand/sysinstall from the shell 4) and created the required partition from there. I rebooted in normal mode and formatted (with newfs) the partition and was able to use mount and use them. What did not work was disabling the geom protection. Setting the sysctl variable: kern.geom.debugflags=16 did not work for me. Some error occurred, the message was (more or less) that my device, the disk (where I wanted to add the partition, which also contained a swap partition) was busy because of the swap. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Tr: ERROR: Unable to write data to disk idad1
(Sorry to insist, I'm still blocked with this unable to write data to disk dislaber editor problem. I really need to solve it urgently because I need new hd space. How about providing us with some more information? I would love to have a crystall ball and see into other people's mind, but alas, I still don't have it. So, in other words, what is your configuration? What type of drive are you using? (specs) Is it a RAID setup? If so, what kind of RAID? What is the configuration of your /etc/fstab? What kind of filesystem are you using? What is the interface it's attached to? Unless you provide people with decent information the chance is high that they aren't going to help you out. Is it possible that this problem occurs because the swap partition is also idad1s1? No that shouldn't be the thing, since it's fairly logical to have a swap partition on the same disk. Perhaps you have some ideas I can try? Cheers, Jorn ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
