Since partitioning didn't work with FreeBSD 9.0 64bit, I tried PC-BSD 8.2 64bit and partitioning worked.
I had PC-BSD installed on ada0s1, this was the fstab: /dev/label/rootfs0 / ufs rw,noatime 1 1 /dev/label/swap0 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/label/var0 /var ufs rw,noatime 1 1 /dev/label/usr0 /usr ufs rw,noatime 1 1 procfs /proc procfs rw 0 0 linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 Plan 9 was to delete the PC-BSD files and than to avoid partitioning, but simply to install FreeBSD on the existing slice and what ever the mounted things inside the slice are named. I startet the FreeBSD installer, chose the shell and then run: # mount -t ufs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt # cd /mnt # rm -r * # rm -r .* This does cause the issue I already had before. When I go back to the installer, for the partition editor I get: ada0 298 GB MBR ada0s1 57 GB freebsd ada0s2 240 GB EBR [snip] gpart show also doesn't display the 3 ufs and the swap any more. So I neither can install FreeBSD, nor can I restore the dumped PC-BSD. Is there no easy to use partitioning tool, comparable to e.g. Linux's gparted? How do I have to use the partition editor of the installer? :( Ralf _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
