Ok, I've received several emails from people saying that bad144 is not supported in 4.0 (where is that documented?) I checked the mail archives, but can find no solution that explains in detail: a) how to tell if your drive has bad144 on it b) how to remove bad144 without reformatting your drive I ran sysinstall and looked at the disk using it's fdisk utility and there is no 'B' next to the freebsd slice. I have a second disk that may or may not have bad144 tables on it. This machine is my primary gateway to the world and although it is backed up, I'd rather not expose myself to a lot of downtime. I'd like to understand my situation as best as possible before I take any action. Any information is welcome.
