No, that's just pretty weird. :-) I wonder if the geometry was calculated differently in the two cases, did you manage to compare numbers in the fdisk screen in the before-and-after case? Now that you've zero'd it, it makes analysis of the original condition a little more difficult. :) > lrwxrwxrwx 1 2035 207 19 Feb 12 04:09 compat22 -> ../current/compat22 Yep, if you're mirroring these bits, you need to fetch "through" that link and populate compat22. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
