Just a conicidence that I'm trying this while there is a cfdisk thread going on as well.
I'm adding a second disk to a SCSI RH 7.2 system. The new disk has old freebsd partitions on it. The SCSI bios all checks out no conflicts or errors. SCSI ID's 0 existing drive 2 tape drive 3 new drive 7 controller The system boots and see's both drives, so now the next step is to repartition the new drive, but when I fdisk /dev/sdb and print the partiton table I get: ---------------------------------------------------- Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1106 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes 8 partitions: # start end size fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 128* 141* 12* 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 b: 1 128* 127* swap c: 1 1107* 1106* unused 0 0 e: 141* 1107* 966* 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 ------------------------------------------------------ I thought it was showing up like this because if freeBSD or something. But when I try to print the partition table on /dev/sda I get it in the same format. --------------------------------------------------------- Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1106 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes 8 partitions: # start end size fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 17* 30* 12* 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 b: 1 17* 16* swap c: 1 1107* 1106* unused 0 0 e: 30* 1107* 1077* 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 ---------------------------------------------------------- What does this mean? and better yet how do I get it to show the standard fdisk output? I've tried to delete partitions a,b,c,e,1,2,3,4 on sdb but the letters are ignored and the numbers cause a segfault. I'm using fdisk version v2.11f For refrence the fdisk output that I'm used to seeing looks like: ------------------------------------------------ Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1106 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 4 32098+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 5 1106 8851815 5 Extended /dev/sda5 5 323 2562336 83 Linux /dev/sda6 324 515 1542208+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 516 643 1028128+ 83 Linux /dev/sda8 644 720 618471 82 Linux swap /dev/sda9 721 771 409626 83 Linux /dev/sda10 772 1106 2690856 83 Linux --------------------------------------------------- -- Jeff Bearer, RHCE Webmaster PittsburghLIVE.com _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
