Illoai,=20 You were right. There is nothing wrong.=20 Part of my problem was that I had never had or seen anything on other slice= s. Now I have two fbsd installs, ad0s1 and ad02 and I mistook ad0s2's missi= ng info as applying to ad0s1.=20 What I really want to do is use ad0s1 as my production install and ad0s2 as= my test install. I guess my procedure would be to copy prod to test, then = perform any testing for new ports, etc. Then once tested, perform those sam= e actions on ad0s1.=20 I have been reading up on how to "clone" a disk, so I can boot into a copy.= Seems like some say tar can do it, but I have seen a place that said to on= ly use dump. Oh, well. I am not quite there yet, working on baby steps.=20 ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "illoai@gmail.com"=20 To: "Steve P."=20 Subject: Re: disklabel messup.=20 Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2006 04:33:25 -0600=20 On 3/10/06, Steve P. wrote:=20 > I was using sysinstall's disklabel facility to poke around.
