https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D213372 Bug ID: 213372 Summary: Repartitioning existing disk does not work Product: Base System Version: 11.0-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: bz@austonley.org.uk Existing 1 Tb Toshiba 3.5" SATA partitioned with 11RC3 932G GPT 512KB freebsd-boot 920GB freebsd-ufs as / 12GB freebsd-swap 11RELEASE DVD (the final version) in USB drive. Motherboard (ASRock Q1900TM-ITX) offers USB and UEFI options to boot drive. Select USB. Selec= t UK ISO-8859-1 option which tests OK except for the usual missing =C2=A3 sign. Select Manual partioning. Delete swap and / partitions. Select Create Add partition dialog appears immediately overlain by Error dialog saying th= ere is no / partition etc. Accept Yes to continue. Both dialogs are cleared and the entire free space is occupied by a 932GB U= FS partition. Attempting to modify this does not permit modification to size. Alternatively select the EUFI option for the DVD drive and proceed as before with the partition table reverted. Enter 600GB as the size for the root partition. There was an error dialog complaining about lack of a bootable partition.=20 Accept the offer to add this and it ignores the existing freebsd-boot parti= tion and adds an EFI partition followed by the new UFS partiton The new partition table shows the UFS partition as 0.3TB. Select Modify. The Modify dialog showns the partition as -300GB (not exact= ly -300 but I didn't note the two least significant digits). Deleted this and tried creating a 0.6TB partition. T is not accepted. Deleted again and tried adding a 300GB partition which is displayed as 0.7TB If I attempt to add a third partition the sizing looks sane enough but with= the insane size being shown I'm not prepared to commit this. I still have the original partitions set up if you want me to experiment. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
