The volume header has to be #9. fdisk handles this right, partman fails. Note that mips switched back to fdisk with the most recent partman/partitioner in unstable, so this should be fixed for the mirrors soon. > 11: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 0 1017 8386733 6 > SGI volume > 12: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 5 1000 8213016 3 > SGI raw The type should be "Linux native". Again, fdisk handles this the right way.

It works with partition numbers ascending from #1 (the volume/volume header partitions don't count WRT). Thiemo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
