Hi !
I'm worried about this message and don't know if I may forget about
it or not. I see a discrepany of disklabel partition sizes and those
syslog messages I get, when I mount something from my 40GB EIDE disk.
I did a normal FreeBSD 4.0 SNAP installation on a new 40 GB disk.
On the largest filesystem I wanted to backup my old system. So I
mounted now the ata disk under my SCSI environment, to do a backup.
Please note: I did no manual fiddeling with disklabel or such on
the EIDE disk, it was a normal installation from self burned CD
and doing a custom installation.
When I try to mount the largest filesystem from the EIDE disk
I get these syslog messages and this worries me:
ad4s1d: start 24322111, end 80035829, size 55713719
ad4s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
ad4s1f: start 5447743, end 13836350, size 8388608
ad4s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
ad4s1g: start 13836351, end 15933502, size 2097152
ad4s1: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
ad4s1h: start 15933503, end 24322110, size 8388608
Look at the different partition sizes, I made a tabular, some
values are equal, some greater, some less, no clear picture to me:
ad4s1d: start 24322111, end 80035829, size 55713719
disklabel -r at4 value: 37075257 <
ad4s1f: start 5447743, end 13836350, size 8388608
disklabel -r at4 value: 8388608 =
ad4s1g: start 13836351, end 15933502, size 2097152
disklabel -r at4 value: 4194304 >
ad4s1h: start 15933503, end 24322110, size 8388608
disklabel -r at4 value: 8388608 =
kernel in core disklabel and on the disk are the same:
This is thew exact output:
disklabel -r ad4

And here for reference the output of /stand/sysinstall:

And here what the kernel says:
ad4: 39082MB <Maxtor 54098U8> [79406/16/63] at ata2-master using UDMA33
Any thoughts ... should I simply install or better wait ??? ;-)
