I have three hard drives in my system. One of them (the first) is the system disk. I'm trying to get the other two ready to be a mirrored volume. No matter which of the last two drives is last, that one always is listed as "amnesiac" when I do a disklabel on it: ============================== [root@archive 13:44:07 root]# disklabel ar2 # /dev/ar2: type: unknown disk: amnesiac label: fictitious flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 3737 sectors/unit: 60036417 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] c: 60036417 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 3737*) ============================== What does this mean? Whichever drive is last, that's the one I cannot "disklabel -e" to set its fstype to "vinum".
