Hello,
I have a FreeBSD 4.7 box. It has a promise raid card supporting two
drives in a mirrored config. It has two drives on the IDE bus. I had
to physically move the motherboard to a different case. In the old case
config, the drives were connected to a ATA card to get over the 137g
limit and one to the motherboard. I now connected both to the ATA card.
The drives were AD1 and AD9. Now they are AD9 and AD11. I can not
mount the AD11. I have done a fdisk to make sure it is on ad11:
03 DING! /etc > fdisk /dev/ad11
******* Working on device /dev/ad11 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=24792 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 for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=24792 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 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,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 63, size 398283417 (194474 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
I can’t fsck /dev/ad11s1 nor mount it. Are there limitations to the IDE
devices? Ideas?
Thanks,
dave
