They're there, > trust me :-) Unless you're using a Silicon Image 3124 controller :-( FYI - the option ROM on this card appears to clobber the secondary GPT table. Moving disks to a 3124 results in this: Jun 13 06:31:42 bigback kernel: GEOM: ad4: the secondary GPT table is corrupt or invalid. Jun 13 06:31:42 bigback kernel: GEOM: ad4: using the primary only -- recovery suggested. Jun 13 06:31:42 bigback kernel: GEOM: ad12: the secondary GPT table is corrupt or invalid. Jun 13 06:31:42 bigback kernel: GEOM: ad12: using the primary only -- recovery suggested. Not our fault - just thought I'd mention it in case it comes up again, or if someone searches for that error message. PS. The man page might make a mention of what "recovery" is if there's some way other than dd(1) to do it.Received on Sat Jun 13 2009 - 22:56:22 UTC
