My PC has two IDE hard disks in it. The first one is on the
motherboard's IDE controller (and thus is ad0), and is setup as:
slice 1: windows 2k
slice 2: redhat linux
slice 3: freebsd 4.0 install (slightly after 4.0-release)
slice 4: freebsd
Second disk is on a promise controller PCI card (and thus is
ad4), and is setup as:
slice 1: redhat linux
slice 2: freebsd 4.0-stable install (from last week)
slice 3: marked as openbsd, but actually nothing in it
at the moment...
When I boot up the ad4s2a system, I do mount a partition from
the ad0 drive. As it happens, both of those linux partitions
used to be freebsd, before being redone as linux. In both
cases, linux is installed into "extended linux partitions"
(in the DOS sense of the word "partition").
So, that's the background. Here's the question.
Why do I get the following errors at startup?
ad4s1: raw partition size != slice size
ad4s1: start 63, end 3686255, size 3686193
ad4s1c: start 63, end 14329727, size 14329665
ad4s1: truncating raw partition
ad4s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
ad4s1: start 63, end 3686255, size 3686193
ad4s1a: start 14123071, end 14329727, size 206657
ad4s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
ad4s1g: start 2048063, end 8601662, size 6553600
ad4s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
ad4s1h: start 8601663, end 14123070, size 5521408
and
ad0s2: raw partition size != slice size
ad0s2: start 5333580, end 10233404, size 4899825
ad0s2c: start 5333580, end 19663559, size 14329980
ad0s2: truncating raw partition
ad0s2: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
ad0s2: start 5333580, end 10233404, size 4899825
ad0s2g: start 7586380, end 14139979, size 6553600
ad0s2: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
ad0s2h: start 14139980, end 19663559, size 5523580
ad0s2: raw partition size != slice size
ad0s2: start 5333580, end 10233404, size 4899825
ad0s2c: start 5333580, end 19663559, size 14329980
ad0s2: truncating raw partition
ad0s2: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
ad0s2: start 5333580, end 10233404, size 4899825
ad0s2g: start 7586380, end 14139979, size 6553600
ad0s2: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
ad0s2h: start 14139980, end 19663559, size 5523580
These say they are complaining about "partitions in BSD label", but
they are complaining about something in the *linux* partitions. As
near as I can tell, everything is working fine, but these messages
are a little unnerving. Is there something I could do to get rid
of those errors, without damaging anything in those linux installs?
