Re: Can't configure new disk

bash-4.3# ls *wd*
ls: *wd*: No such file or directory

bash-4.3# fdisk wd1
fdisk: cannot opendisk /dev/rwd1d: Device not configured

bash-4.3# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel),2(kmem),3(sys),4(tty),5(operator),20(staff),31(guest)

bash-4.3# fdisk /dev/wd1d
fdisk: cannot opendisk /dev/wd1d: Device not configured

bash-4.3# disklabel -v /dev/rwd1d
disklabel: /dev/rwd1d: Device not configured

bash-4.3# disklabel -v wd1
disklabel: /dev/rwd1d: Device not configured

I'm going to try a different disk just in case this one is bad in some way.

Thanks for responding,

Paul

Everything looks good to me - two things worth checking, first, that the
/dev/rwd1* special (char) files exist, and second, that there's no file
called "wd1" in the directory you're in when you run the commands.

If neither of those is the problem, show everything that happens when you
run "fdisk wd1" (or "disklabel -v wd1") - the actual error message might
provide a clue. Also try "fdisk /dev/rwd1d" (etc.)
