Afternoon all,
I've got a bit of a problem trying to set up a new disk I'm adding
to my existing 2.0RC4 set up.
Running 'disklabel -I -I sd1' quite happily lets me create a C slice for the
entire disk and then, say, an A slice that also covers the entire the disk.
I can then write those changes to disk, newfs and mount it. However, if I
try to make more than one 4.2BSD slice on the disk it errors when I try to
write the changes within disklabel.
Example:
partition> P
3 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
a: 4194304 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 27440 # (Cyl. 0 -
1978*)
b: 327680 4194304 swap # (Cyl. 1978*-
2133*)
c: 17850000 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 -
8419*)
partition> W
Label disk [n]? y
disklabel: warning, partition b: offset % cylinder-size != 0
Label not written
For comparison, here's the output for sd0, an identical disk which was set
up by the installer:
partition> P
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
a: 204800 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 25600 # (Cyl. 0 -
99)
b: 327680 204800 swap # (Cyl. 100 -
259)
c: 17844224 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 -
8712)
g: 4194304 532480 4.2BSD 1024 8192 46608 # (Cyl. 260 -
2307)
Can someone explain where I'm going wrong and why there isn't a copy of
good, old fashioned, fdisk available for the SPARC port?
