In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> you write:We were just hit by the disk truncating bug when creating partitions. It appears to be a problem with sun disklabels, when manually creating a DOS partition table with fdisk, we were able to partition the entire 9-gig disk.
This was the RC3 netinst btw.
Both cases I've run into this problem were on disks not on the first controler. What is the disk configuration on your system (and what type of system)? Did you have this problem on the first disk partitioned?
It is an e250, and this was in the internal slots:
Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi0, channel 0, id 8, lun 0 sym0:0: FAST-20 WIDE SCSI 40.0 MB/s ST (50.0 ns, offset 15) SCSI device sda: 17689267 512-byte hdwr sectors (9057 MB) Partition check: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p3 sym0:8: FAST-20 WIDE SCSI 40.0 MB/s ST (50.0 ns, offset 15) SCSI device sdb: 17689267 512-byte hdwr sectors (9057 MB) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target8/lun0: p3
We had this problem on both disks but mostly spent time trying to partition sda. But it magically went away when we tried that sarge-sparc-1.iso (full cd instead of netinst). But that might also have been a matter of having written "enough" different partition tables and reboots.
The system is now up and running from that install.
