Comprei 2 HD Samsung HD502HI (SATA, 500gb, 5400rpm). Instalei o FreeBSD 8.1 i386 no primeiro e configurei o gmirror no primeiro disco. Ao tentar inserir o segundo disco no mirror, ele acusou que o provider ad6 era menor:
gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad6 gmirror: Provider ad6 too small. Fiquei supreso ao notar que fdisk aponta tamanhos diferentes para os discos: fdisk /dev/ad4 ******* Working on device /dev/ad4 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=969021 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=969021 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 63, size 976773105 (476939 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 15/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 3 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 4 is: <UNUSED> --------------- fdisk /dev/ad6 ******* Working on device /dev/ad6 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=969018 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=969018 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 63, size 976770081 (476938 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 15/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 3 is: <UNUSED> The data for partition 4 is: <UNUSED> O primeiro disco (ad4) é um pouco maior que o segundo, como pode ser visto em cylinders e size. Como é possível?
