I am in the process of building a new server and all I need to do is create all the file systems and restore from backup to the new server. I am having a problem with the new file system creation process. For some reason it creates the /, /usr, /var and then hangs on the last file system. Some additional info: 1. Running FreeBSD 2.2.8 2. Running DPT Raid w/ 3 - 9.1 Seagate scsi drives I have booted from both floppy and cdrom, I go in and do a fdisk on the entire drive, set it bootable, exit out. The I go into the disk label and create the following: / root file system 50MB /usr 1500MB /var 3000MB /swap 256MB /u2 I allocate the rest of the space to this file system about 12.5 gigs. I then do a W to write the changes, and all goes well until the goes to create the /u2 file system. It appears to be working fine, lots of lights flashing for about 2 mins on the drives. Then all lights go out and some clicking starts for quite sometime and then just locks up. The screen which shows the information about which file system it is creating is still there. Also one more thing. It is common to have the raid system loose 10 gigs of space? I have 27 gigs total, but when booting the screen show only 17 gigs available and the same for the labeler. Thanks in advance..Much appreciated! -Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
