I'm setting up a NetBSD 3.1 system with two identical disks that
should be mirrored.
I have labeled the raid0 device as usual, like this:
a: 2098059 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 45616 # (Cyl. 0 - 2048*)
Now, when I try to newfs this slice, it says:
wtfs: write error for sector 16: Read-only filesystem
I tried to let the filesystem start at sector 63. That worked
for the newfs part, but then the computer didn't boot anymore,
saying:
Boot failed (errno 2): Can't open /boot.
So i guess I have to solve the former problem first: why
can't I newfs the raid0a slice?
The disk is a Seagate ST336607LC. Someone on the mailing list
had a similar problem and had to add it to a quirk table. Does
that ring a bell for someone?
Thanks
Chris
