Hi Several times now I've encountered following situation: I have harddisk with two slices, remaining space unallocated. There's FreeBSD system installed on the first slice, other one used as temporary storage, i.e. both have disklabel and mounted filesystems. Now I want to create third slice for whatever reasons. I know that it's impossible without setting special geom debugflag, so I'll set it kern.geom.debugflags=16. Using sysinstall I'll create the third slice and write new slice table down to disk. Fdisk(8) confirms that third slice is there. The only thing missing is now /dev entry for this slice, there's no /dev/adXs3. This /dev entry will be created when I reboot the system, but that's not acceptable. Any workaround? Thanks -- Vallo KallasteReceived on Fri May 09 2003 - 03:21:48 UTC
