Message-ID: <20020201071356.A482@sheol.localdomain> Reply-To: hawkeyd@visi.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG After reading the 4.5 Handbook, and searching with Google and FBSD's own engines, I cannot find anything to soothe my apprehension about what I see: I have FBSD on ad0s2. I want another FBSD on ad0s1. 'fdisk' is no problem, and neither is 'disklabel', EXCEPT that as I create the [FBSD] partitions in ad0s1, the mountpoints in the existing ad0s2 disappear, and 'disklabel' tells me I already have such-and-such mountpoint when I try to re-mount the partitions in ad0s2. My question is: By creating new partitions in ad0s1, am I really losing the existing mountpoints in ad0s2? If so, how do I restore 'em? Or am I missing something fundamental here? I know two FBSDs can exist on one drive. Am I worrying about nothing? A quick reply would be most appreciated; I'd like to do this while my boy takes his nap!
