Subject:   8.2-RC1: installer does not recognize some disks properly
Message-ID:  <20101229014918.GA8274@quiet.esmtp.org>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I just tried to install 8.2-RC1 (amd64) on one of my machines.  It
has two disks: WDC WD1001FALS-4 and SAMSUNG HD103SJ, both 1TB SATA
disks. The installer shows them as ad10 and ad8. Both disks are
already in use and have been "formatted" via fdisk, e.g., the Samsung
(ad10) has 3 partitions (BF, A9, A8)) and the WDC has 4 (A6, BF,
A5, A9).  However, the installer only shows the existing partitions
for the Samsung, but not for the WDC. The WDC is the boot disk and
has a Grub loader installed. What could be the reason that the
existing partitioning is not recognized by the installer?

Here is some data from the system after I installed it on
the second disk:

fdisk ad8
******* Working on device /dev/ad8 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1938021 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1938021 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 166 (0xa6),(OpenBSD)
    start 64, size 530161001 (258867 Meg), flag 0
	beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 2;
	end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 191 (0xbf),(Solaris x86 (new))
    start 530161065, size 626535000 (305925 Meg), flag 80 (active)
	beg: cyl 1023/ head 0/ sector 1;
	end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 1156696065, size 449820000 (219638 Meg), flag 0
	beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63;
	end: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 169 (0xa9),(NetBSD)
    start 1606516065, size 347004000 (169435 Meg), flag 0
	beg: cyl 1023/ head 0/ sector 1;
	end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63


This shows that FreeBSD recognizes the partitions properly.

I ran sysinstall from the command lines (under script) and got this
(after removing all the screen layout sequences):
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Disk name:      
ad8
FDISK Partition Editor
DISK Geometry:  1938021 cyls/16 heads/63 sectors = 1953525168 sectors (953869MB)
Offset       Size(ST)        End     Name  PType       Desc  Subtype    Flags
0 1953525168 1953525167        -     12     unused        0          

The following commands are supported (in upper or lower case):
----------------------------------------------------------------------

As you see, sysinstall shows something else than fdisk.
