[previously posted to freebsd-questions, to no avail...] Folks: How do you format a vn disk image as a ufs file system? I am attempting to set up a 650 megabyte file for use as scratch space for assembling a CD-ROM image, but cannot figure out how to format the "disk". Newfs reports a pretty obvious error: there's no disktab entry for such a beast. Here's my plan: 1) create ~/cdimage as a 650 megabyte file 2) issue 'vnconfig /dev/vn0c ~/cdimage' 3) newfs /dev/rvn0c -- THIS DOESN'T WORK 4) fill up the new 650MB "disk", then 'mkisofs ~/cdimage | cdrecord' when full... Hints? Suggestions? Or is the vn driver not intended for this sort of thing? -David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
