Hi,
I started this thread in the freebsd-questions mailing list.
But since I'm quite sure it's not a bsdlabel problem, I might find better
answers here.
We have a script that buids custom FreeBSD releases.
This code works on 4.7, 5.4, 5.5, 6.2, 7.1 and 7.2.
I want to make it work with FreeBSD-8.1.
Brievly, it works like that:
having minimum4, the following disktab layout:
minimum4:ty=mfs:se#512:nt#1:rm#300:\
:ns#11520:nc#1:\
:pa#11520:oa#0:ba#4096:fa#512:\
:pc#11520:oc#0:bc#4096:fc#512:
dd if=/dev/zero of=bootfile.img bs=18k count=4096
dev=`mdconfig -a -t vnode -f bootfile.img`
bsdlabel -w -B -b $GENPATH/boot/boot /dev/$dev minimum4
newfs -O1 -i 4096 -o space -m 1 /dev/${dev}c
mount /dev/${dev}c /mnt
(cd cdroot ; find . | cpio -dump /mnt)
[...]
When bsdlabelling, I got these warnings:
bsdlabel: partition c doesn't cover the whole unit!
bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system
utilities
But it never was a problem for older releases.
Since 8.1 (8.0?), after calling bsdlabel, I still have /dev/${dev}a,
but/dev/${dev}c doesn't show up anymore.
I tried mounting a 7.2-generated image (where I had both md0a and md0c) on a
8.1 host, and only had md0a listed in devs.
I tried mounting a 8.1-generated image (where I had only /dev/md0a) on a 7.2
host, and /dev/md0c finally appeard.
So, is it possible to / how could I make ${dev}c appear on 8.1, like it was
in previous releases?
Thanks!
