You obviously did not really partition the slice with bsdlabel. The c partition is invalid for a filesystem. If you look at the label I'm sure you'll see that the FSTYPE field is 'unused', with a comment that reads ``"raw" part, don't edit``. You should add a partition with bsdlabel, perhaps partition 'a', with fstype 4.2BSD. You can then newfs this partition. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
