I am trying to setup vinum on a box using 4.8 RELENG_4 (as of about a week ago snapshot). This box was running 4.6 /w vinum on same hard drives for the last 4 months wonderfully... 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

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 - ad0s4b:

Hello, I've been reading the *BSD detection code in check_filesystem() in inspect-fs.c in order to write a patch for OpenBSD detection that is missing. Both, in FreeBSD and in NetBSD you have this piece of code: /* Ignore /dev/sda1 which is a shadow of the real root filesystem * that is probably /dev/sda5 (see: * http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/disk-organization.html)

I have a GPT formatted disk where I recently expanded the size of a partition. I used "gpart resize -i 6 ada1" first to expand the partition to use the remaining free space and then growfs to modify the FFS file system to use the full partition. This was all done in single-user mode, of course, but when I enter "exit" to bring the system up, it failed to mount /usr. This was

Dear All, At some point after release of CentOS 7 (though this thing might have started before, it is just when _I_ noticed it) I discovered that if I stick into machine drive without disk label, and then do kickstart installation, the command in kickstart file clearpart --initlabel does not work. Even worse: if I just use GUI installer the drive is not listed between available disks. If I

Hi everyone, I extracted this from the grub sourcecode: /* possible values for the *BSD-style partition type */ . . . #define 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

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 are sequential, there are no gaps in the numbering. On

Well, colleagues, I'm stuck a bit. I tried many different ways to setup system with vinum root (the only reference I found yet besides old "bootstrapping vinum" article is Joerg'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,

Hello Everyone, I have a CentOS 6.3 host running a few KVMs. One of them is a CentOS 6.3 KVM that I want to use for making backups with BackupPC. What I'm having a problem with is assigning the KVM an external drive. I used to run BackupPC on an Ubuntu box. The backups went to an external eSATA 1.5TB, ext4 format, single partition drive (regular 3.5" in an enclosure). I want to now

I sent this to freebsd-questions earlier via the newsgroup, but I just found out today that the list-to-news gateway has been down for half a month now. Any idea when it's going back up? Who was hosting that service anyway? And now for the question.. I have a test server that is being used to test a 4.4-REL to 4.8-STABLE upgrade, and I've found the system will no longer boot unless I

The term, "disklabel", suggests different possible things to users,

Hi, My problem is I have a particular system which has Linux (LFS) and Windows XP on one drive and Windows 10 on a second drive. I use extlinux to boot my systems and all three systems boot as expected, however in use I have found unsatisfactory interactions between the Windows XP and the Windows 10 systems. My question is: Is it possible on booting one of the Windows systems to hide

Make a best effort try to map NetBSD disklabel partitions to Linux partitions. The mapping will be incorrect if there is a gap in the disklabel partitions sequence, e.g. 'b' (swap) partition is missing but 'e' partition is defined.

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.
