I have added a new cheetah 18gb hd to one of my machines. /sysinstall
tells me that no hard drives are installed (I will deal with that problems
later...) which is not correct as I allready have a 4.5 cheetah running
the OS on for 4months. The dmesg shows both harddrives as da0 and da1 but
in df I show the following:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sd0s1a 127023 24145 92717 21% /
/dev/sd0s1e 127023 1036 115826 1% /tmp
/dev/sd0s1h 3608636 953871 2366075 29% /usr
/dev/sd0s1f 127023 2566 114296 2% /var
/dev/sd0s1g 63503 1 58422 0% /var/mail
procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc
notice that the da0 HD is showing up as sd0????? The kernel is compiled
for da0.
(The above was just my thinking aloud...) ;^)
Question: How do I make the 18gb have only 1 FreeBSD partiton? I followed
the examples in the handbook but can't seem to get rid of the 4
partitons...
I have used: camcontrol cmd -n da -u 1 -v -t 7200 -c "4 0 0 0 0 0"
and this seems to only format slice 4. (I do not want to assume changing
"4 0 0 0 0 0" to "X 0 0 0 0 0" will format that slice.
spiner# fdisk da1
******* Working on device /dev/rda1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=2213 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=2213 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 108,(unknown)
start 1819044972, size 1819044972 (888205 Meg), flag 6c
beg: cyl 364/ sector 44/ head 108;
end: cyl 364/ sector 44/ head 108
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 108,(unknown)
start 1819044972, size 1819044972 (888205 Meg), flag 6c

The data for partition 3 is:

The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 1, size 35551844 (17359 Meg), flag 80 (active)

Thanks in advance!
