Did you toggle any jumpers on the drive? I finally gave up and returned it. A new day, a new disk (with 512 byte sectors). I installed mbr, partitioned the disk, prepped the plan9 partition and formatted fossil on the new drive. Here's how my old and new disks look. su# cat /dev/sdE0/ctl # old inquiry SAMSUNG SP2004C model SAMSUNG SP2004C serial S07GJ10Y522190 firm VM100-32 wwn 50000f0015522190 flag lba llba smart nop udma 6 reg task 50 cmd 4c017 serr 0 ci 0 is 0 sig 101 sstatus 123 cmd hpcp cr fr pod sud st mode auto sataii geometry 390721968 512 part data 0 390721968 part plan9 63 390716865 part 9fat 63 204863 part nvram 204863 204864 part fossil 204864 389668289 part swap 389668289 390716865 su# cat /dev/sdE1/ctl # new inquiry Hitachi HDS5C3020ALA632 model Hitachi HDS5C3020ALA632 serial ML0220FL0220F313JE2D firm ML6OA580 wwn 5000cca369cfb243 flag lba llba smart power nop ata8 sct udma 6 reg task 50 cmd 4c017 serr 0 ci 0 is 0 sig 101 sstatus 123 cmd hpcp cr fr pod sud st mode auto sataii geometry 3907029168 512 part data 0 3907029168 part plan9 63 3907024065 part 9fat 63 204863 part nvram 204863 204864 part fossil 204864 3905975489 part swap 3905975489 3907024065 su# fossil/conf /dev/sdE0/fossil # old fsys main config /dev/sdE0/fossil fsys main open -V -c 3000 su# fossil/conf /dev/sdE1/fossil # new fsys main config /dev/sdE1/fossil fsys main open -V -c 3000 I would like to copy 9fat, nvram and fossil from the old drive to the new drive. 9fat is no problem. But how about nvram? Can I just use dd? As for fossil, I have not been able to figure out how to do this. replica(1) looks like has the capability to do this, but I don't want to experiment with my live data. Someone who knows how to do this, please advise. Also, do I need to run any additional fossil commands? The goal is to retire the old disk and boot off the new one with the only difference being that there is more free space now.
