I got it disklabeled (dang. ded. mode), and did the newfs, but at the end I got: newfs: ioctl (WDINFO): Invalid argument newfs: /dev/rsd2e: can't rewrite disk label Well, I've saved the output of the newfs and disklabel here so you can chop them off in the reply: ROOT:/usr2/chuckr:102 >disklabel sd2 # /dev/rsd2c: type: SCSI disk: amnesiac label: fictitious flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 171 tracks/cylinder: 6 sectors/cylinder: 1026 cylinders: 8252 sectors/unit: 8467200 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] b: 196608 0 swap # (Cyl. 0 - 191*) c: 8467200 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 8252*) e: 8270592 196608 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 191*- 8252*) ROOT:/usr2/chuckr:106 >newfs sd2e Warning: 3328 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated /dev/rsd2e: 8270592 sectors in 2020 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors 4038.4MB in 127 cyl groups (16 c/g, 32.00MB/g, 7936 i/g) super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: 32, 65568, 131104, 196640, 262176, 327712, 393248, 458784, 524320, 589856, 655392, 720928, 786464, 852000, 917536, 983072, 1048608, 1114144, 1179680, 1245216, 1310752, 1376288, 1441824, 1507360, 1572896, 1638432, 1703968, 1769504, 1835040, 1900576, 1966112, 2031648, 2097184, 2162720, 2228256, 2293792, 2359328, 2424864, 2490400, 2555936, 2621472, 2687008, 2752544, 2818080, 2883616, 2949152, 3014688, 3080224, 3145760, 3211296, 3276832, 3342368, 3407904, 3473440, 3538976, 3604512, 3670048, 3735584, 3801120, 3866656, 3932192, 3997728, 4063264, 4128800, 4194336, 4259872, 4325408, 4390944, 4456480, 4522016, 4587552, 4653088, 4718624, 4784160, 4849696, 4915232, 4980768, 5046304, 5111840, 5177376, 5242912, 5308448, 5373984, 5439520, 5505056, 5570592, 5636128, 5701664, 5767200, 5832736, 5898272, 5963808, 6029344, 6094880, 6160416, 6225952, 6291488, 6357024, 6422560, 6488096, 6553632, 6619168, 6684704, 6750240, 6815776, 6881312, 6946848, 7012384, 7077920, 7143456, 7208992, 7274528, 7340064, 7405600, 7471136, 7536672, 7602208, 7667744, 7733280, 7798816, 7864352, 7929888, 7995424, 8060960, 8126496, 8192032, 8257568, newfs: ioctl (WDINFO): Invalid argument newfs: /dev/rsd2e: can't rewrite disk label ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
