Hi
I was experimenting with growfs yesterday and I noticed this wierd
thing crop up in my label. Notice the 'a' partition which I can
no longer get rid of and appears automatically. using bsdlabel -e
I have to delete this partition if I want to change any of the other
partitions (it complains about overlapping partitions otherwise).
[brane-dead] / # bsdlabel /dev/ad0s1
# /dev/ad0s1:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 20044064 16 unused 0 0
c: 20044080 0 unused 1024 8192 # "raw" part, don't edit
e: 20044080 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 46248
What am I missing? BTW, growfs barfed too with a 'rdfs: read error'.
[brane-dead] /var/log # fdisk /dev/ad0
******* Working on device /dev/ad0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=19885 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=19885 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 0, size 20044080 (9787 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ head 0/ sector 1;
end: cyl 428/ head 15/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
