Physically add drives at SCSI targets 8 and 9 The controller does wide SCSI, and the disks are wide also. run /dev/MAKEDEV da8 da9 da8s1a da8s2a da8s3a da8s4a da9s1a run fdisk to create slices this worked, and left the first 64 sectors for a bootblock. I also tried "fdisk -e", which also worked. add entry for drvs09v-8s1 to /etc/disktab it includes offset, partition-size, blocksize, and fragment-size values for partitions c, e, f, g. run disklabel -r -w da8s1 drvs09v-8s1 I tried several variants of the disk-device name. get immediate response "disklabel: No space left on device" find message from kernel in /var/log/messages about lack of existing label on da8 Fix: Workaround may be to re-install and configure all disks then. I don't know what I'll do if I need to add more disks later. How-To-Repeat: See above. The prototype files were derived from information on a FreeBSD 3.2 machine configured identically. On that prototype, we configured all disks during the install. May be related to the existence of the bootblock area; we find that we cannot boot from a SCSI disk which has the bootblock outside the slices. There are complaints about no ufs filesystem.
