I don't think the two controllers share on-disk configuration formats; you'll probably need to re-initialise the array (I could be wrong about that). > newmail# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ramrd0 bs=1k count=1 > 1+0 records in > 1+0 records out > 1024 bytes transferred in 0.000446 secs (2295546 bytes/sec) > newmail# !fd > fdisk amrd0 > ******* Working on device /dev/ramrd0 ******* > parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: > cylinders=2217 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=2217 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: > <UNUSED> > The data for partition 2 is: > <UNUSED> > The data for partition 3 is: > <UNUSED> > The data for partition 4 is: > sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) > start 1, size 35616104 (17390 Meg), flag 80 (active) > beg: cyl 0/ sector 2/ head 0; > end: cyl 168/ sector 63/ head 254 > newmail# disklabel -Brw amrd0 auto You probably don't want to do that with a valid slice table installed; the slice code does silly things.
