|
| When i again run 'fdisk' it should the old partition table.
|
| What exactly does 'Class not found' mean ?

This comes from geom. See geom(8).

|
| There is no mention of the 'Class' in fdisk man page at
| http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=fdisk&sektion=8
|
| Can the experienced BSD guys explain ?
|
|
| thanks
