* > * I=128 newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 fails with "write error: 2047871 * > * wtfs: invalid argument". * I'm not quite sure what you mean by "old" disklabel, but I started out fresh * with these drives, and labeled them symmetrically with using ccd's in mind.. What I meant is if you edit the disklabel on a ccd at a certain interleave, the label will "stick" when you later reconfigure the ccd with a different interleave (since the disklabel exists in the first sector of the first partition). Since the interleaves are increasing in your test order, it's possible that the last few blocks that the disklabel says exist may not exist. * Here's the labels for sd0, sd1, and ccd0, and the output of ccdconfig -g. You are missing the output of ccdconfig -g. I can't diagnose the problem without it. * root@cheetah [/root] # disklabel ccd0 * sectors/unit: 2047872 See the number above (the error from wtfs). It is second from the last block, which could be invalid at a 128 interleave. * 3 partitions: * # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] * a: 1023936 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 499*) * b: 1023936 1023936 4.2BSD 1024 8192 0 # (Cyl. 499*- 999*) * c: 2047872 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 999*) So you do have a disklabel. (The ccd driver will return a "default" label with only partition "c" and type "4.2BSD" if you don't write one yourself...that is often good enough, there usually is no point in sub-partitioning the ccd if you're combining disks is the first place. :) Satoshi
