Hi, Jordan got involved with this for a bit, then it got kinda dropped... As far as I can tell - the system won't write disklabels to drives over sd9... If I forcibly re-wire the drives down into the sd0-8 range I can label, partition etc. fine... newfs works regardless of the sdX, it's just labels I'm having problems with... If I try to disklabel say sd12 - it 'seems' to work, but when you read the label back you get disk label's 'worst' guess for the label, not what you'd just told it to write... I'm running 3.0-CURRENT, made as of about 2 weeks ago... I've seen the change in sysinstall, before it would only list up to sd9, now it correctly lists up to sd14... Labelling etc. from sysinstall still fails though... All of this is with no error messages :-( Regards, Karl Pielorz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
