Evening, chaps. I don't think anyone's brought this one up yet, and it's a little obscure... but for those of us who have MAXPARTITIONS set to a nonstandard value (16 in my case, I need some extra as I'm using a largeish RAID array that I'd like to chop into managable pieces), it seems that bsdlabel randomly hiccups with a warning about the label length being wrong ("disklabel: Wrong length label argument" after attempting to edit the label, even without making any changes). This only happens on certain discs for reasons beyond my ken, but it seems that the culprit is circa line 410 in sbin/bsdlabel/bsdlabel.c which currently says gctl_ro_param(grq, "label", 148+16*8); but which I'm guessing should say gctl_ro_param(grq, "label", 148+16*MAXPARTITIONS); The modification seems to work on my -CURRENT box without causing any obvious harm, so I thought I'd mention it here to see what people think. Cheers, Chris. PS Just to clarify, the discs which the unmodified disklabel worked on are <40GB SCSI units attached to AIC 789x channels, and the one which it didn't work on is a 450GB RAID-10 aac (2410SA) array.Received on Mon Sep 20 2004 - 09:44:10 UTC
