NOTE: If you run disklabel and do not use the "-r" switch, then what you are seeing is the socalled 'in-cure' version of the disklabel and if no FreeBSD label has been written on the disk, the system will make up some default stuff. So, just seing # /dev/ad6 and type: , etc plus the line for c: followed by those messages saying cannot find label is a strong indication that nothing is there. Has fdisk and disklabel (with a write switch) ever been done on this disk? ////jerry > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
