It seems FreeBSD does not like the user/groups from BSDI. After untaring a sizable file from the BSDI machine on to the FreeBSD machine. All the ownerships were in the form of numbers. And low numbers for that mater. 200 150 300 UID and GID's of that form. Shortly after that the system went down and that drive is basiacly hosed and unusable. When I rebooted the machine fsck could not fix the drive. And at this point I've completely rebuilt the array and tried to reinsert it back into FreeBSD via sysinstall. It will not insert back into the system. I switch to a second terminal to see if there have been any errors while in the fdisk. Here is the error. DEBUG: MakeDev: Unknown major/minor for dev type - Has anyone ever encountered a problem like this? I'm stumped.
