search for: disklabel

..... but since it is my current 'scratch/backup' box, I just reinstalled with -STABLE. # uname -a FreeBSD polya.axista.com 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #22: Tue Jun 24 17:01:07 EDT 2003 cce@cantor.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Anyway, my problems seem to be coming from a disklabel issue. Following the instructions in the handbook (for disk addition), I go through the following steps: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad2 bs=1k count=1 # fdisk -BI ad2 # disklabel -B -w -r ad2s1 auto And at this point, I use the following to extract the current label, and then I edit it wi...

Hi, Somehow[TM] an installation of 4.11 to ad0s3 managed to wipe out my existing disklabel for 7.0 on ad0s4. I now need to recover the disklabel to get my system to boot! There were three labels - ad0s4a: UFS, exact size unknown. Is it possible to infer this from the UFS partition size? I can mount this already, as I simply wrote an 'a' label of maximum size to the disklabel - a...

.../dev/sda5 (see: * http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/disk-organization.html) */ if (m->im_type == MOUNTABLE_DEVICE && match (g, m->im_device, re_first_partition)) return 0; This assumption is not always true. First of all, the MBR partition that hosts the disklabel could be any of the primary partitions. Not just the first one. The OpenBSD installer for example will by default use the 4th partition. I'm pretty sure you can change this in FreeBSD and NetBSD too. The other thing is that /dev/sda5 will not always be there. The problem is the weird way the k...

...bel can be used, though the glabel man page is explicit that it can't.) Both complete with no errors, but neither fixes the problem. I still don't see any /dev/usf/usr. "glabel list" does not even list the geom. I do get the following GEOM messages in dmesg: GEOM: ada1p2: invalid disklabel. GEOM: ufsid/4df4feeda0ce6d5c: invalid disklabel. GEOM: ufs/root: invalid disklabel. GEOM: gpt/root: invalid disklabel. GEOM: gptid/43f0eafd-ba3a-11e0-b70a-f0def166a11e: invalid disklabel. but /dev/ufs/root works fine to mount /, and I have always snen these errors and have never been able to figu...

...It must be an issue beaten to death, but somehow my search ability fails on this particular one (I am not "googling" but "duckduckgo-ing", though this shouldn't matter the problem as usually must be myself). Can someone suggest something? I know it is trivial to just create disklabel before sticking drive in machine, but once I'm using kickstart, any need in separate manual steps feels really lame.

...e FS_EXT2FS 17 /* Linux Extended 2 file system */ It would actually meet my partitioning requirements to register a partition inside one of my slices as ext2 (I currently mask the partition type as ISO9660(!) and use a *patched* grub, so you see this situation is suboptimal...), but the disklabel program will not honor this (neither numerically, i.e. 17, nor textual which I know from the source). I don't know about the -CURRENT bsdlabel, I suppose things are the same. Is there any serious objection to supporting this? Regards Thomas

LGTM Another thing concerning the disklabel partitions is that list_filesystems() will print both /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5 as ufs file systems. I don't know if you care to change this. The fact is that both are mountable. P.S. I wish the kernel folks would stop treating the disklabel partitions as logical partitions. Logical partitions a...

...9;s commit message: http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/cvs-all_2003/msg01225.html I failed. I have 4-stable system set up at ad0, and tried to set up pair of drives for new system at ad2 and ad3 (actually, they will run as ad0 and ad2 on target system). What I did: - fdisk -BI ad2; fdisk -BI ad3 - disklabel -Brw auto ad2s1; disklabel -Brw auto ad3s1 - create ad[23]s1d for root, 128M+265s in size, type vinum - start vinum and create mroot mirror volume - dump'n'restored root partition there - tune new fstab and /boot/loader.conf according to Joerg's comments. Alas, all I have is BTX regist...

...;. I was also expecting to see "/dev/vdb1". I ran fdisk on it only to see the partition table wasn't detected. The drive itself is OK - I can mount it successfully on the KVM host. Here's the fdisk output: Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xd6912a1b. Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.

...procfs rw 0 0 I am thinking that in 4.5-REL or newer (we are trying to upgrade to 4.8) that things might have changed? Again, /usr/src/UPDATING mentions some changes to the ATA code, but nothing specific to our configuration. Any ideas here? Following are the partition and disklabel information for /dev/ad4 and /dev/ar0: # fdisk /dev/ad4 ******* Working on device /dev/ad4 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=5005 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used...

The term, "disklabel", suggests different possible things to users, depending on what the user is looking for / having in mind; for instance, think about the term in *BSDs vs. fdisk&...

Make a best effort try to map NetBSD disklabel partitions to Linux partitions.

No change, just reposting without the "for discussion" tag. I think we should allow this as it seems like a nice coding style for a limited subset of imperative-style code. Rich.

hi. i'm hitting a wall each time i try to format a 3 terabyte partition. i'm able to create the partition using parted but whenever i try to create a 3 terabyte xfs or jfs or ext3 filesystem, the mounted filesystem created is only 1 terabyte. i tried centos x86 and x86_64 4.0 but i always hit a 1 terabyte limit. please help.

When rewriting the heavily imperative original inspection code, I longed for a ‘return’ statement so I could keep the new code as close as possible to the original. OCaml of course does not have such a statement, but it's relatively simply to implement it in the language. The first patch does so, and the second patch rewrites a sample of the inspection code to use it. Rich.
