I am trying to add 2 18GB Seagate Cheetah drives with sysinstall on /a and /b. So I can use them with Vinum. This box is a Dual proc, Dell Poweredge 2400. The 3 drives in it are the same cheetah drives. They are hot swap drives. Sysinstall had no problems labeling and installing on the first one. I even had these other two mounted as /stripe0 /stripe1 on the first install. But then i had problems with newfs -v setting up Vinum so i figured id low level format them and reinstall. Everything seems fine with the first SCSI disk but the other 2 sysinstall refuses to label. When I go to label the disks sysinstall vomits with: Error mounting /dev/da1s1e on /a : Invalid argument In a dialog box, and behind it I see: DEBUG: MakeDev: Unknown major/minor for devtype - I have never had a problem using sysinstall to add disks. This box is supposed to go into a data center today. The box its replacing died and my employers of course want it installed yesterday. I have never seen this error. Anyone know how to resolve this? ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (316) 326-3862 | FreeBSD Consultant, FreeBSD Geek Work: scanner@jurai.net | Open Systems Inc., Wellington, Kansas Home: scanner@deceptively.shady.org | http://open-systems.net ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
