this is the problem:
I had a machine running FreeBSD 4.7-Stable. There I added a 80GB harddisk. This harddrive I wanted to install on my other machine running FreeBSD 4.9-Release. This disk is ad6 so I added


/dev/ad6 /storage ufs rw 2 2

to fstab and rebooted.


Did I understand the situation right - the drive worked in 4.7 machine but the problem occurred when you moved it to the 4.9 machine?

That's right.


The above fstab entry doesn't look quite correct to me. The filesystem that you mount should usually be contained in a partition (e.g. /dev/ad6s1e) not on entire disk (/dev/ad6).

If the drive worked in the 4.7 machine, what was the fstab entry there?

I cant recall the fstab entry but the drive was as Master on the secondary IDE channel and had only one partition using all diskspace.

In the 4.9 machine the drive is on a DMA-66-Controller. Under Win2000 this is listet as a SCSI-Device. I don't know whether this can be the problem - I will try to put it again on the IDE-Channel.


What is the output of 'disklabel ad6'?

#end of output

Many thanks for your help.

Robert
