On an older 4.11 FreeBSD system I need to replace a disk. Matthew Seaman once explained how: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-July/011733.html For one, he said to start with: fdisk -I ad4 But when I re-do that, it says: "No such file or directory" And, indeed, I have: crw-r----- 2 root operator 116, 0x00020022 May 19 2004 /dev/ad4s1 crw-r----- 2 root operator 116, 0x00020020 May 19 2004 /dev/ad4s1a crw-r----- 2 root operator 116, 0x00020021 May 19 2004 /dev/ad4s1b crw-r----- 2 root operator 116, 0x00020022 May 19 2004 /dev/ad4s1c crw-r----- 2 root operator 116, 0x00020023 May 19 2004 /dev/ad4s1d crw-r----- 2 root operator 116, 0x00020024 May 19 2004 /dev/ad4s1e crw-r----- 2 root operator 116, 0x00020025 May 19 2004 /dev/ad4s1f crw-r----- 2 root operator 116, 0x00020026 May 19 2004 /dev/ad4s1g crw-r----- 2 root operator 116, 0x00020027 May 19 2004 /dev/ad4s1h But no ad4, it seems. How quaint! So, is there a way to recreate it? The backup disk is failing, and I need to have it replaced soon. Thanks, - Mark
