Hi guys, I have 2 small virtual machines running in data center, on similar hardware. Both are running FreeBSD 12-current. The first one is based on a 10.3 image, upgraded to current. The second one is based on 11.1, upgraded to current. I notice a difference in disk partitioning. 10.3 is using GPT, and 11.1 MBR. [FreeBSD 10.3] $ gpart show => 34 83886013 vtbd0 GPT (40G) 34 1024 1 freebsd-boot (512K) 1058 2097152 2 freebsd-swap (1.0G) 2098210 81787836 3 freebsd-ufs (39G) 83886046 1 - free - (512B) [FreeBSD 11.1] $ gpart show => 63 83886017 vtbd0 MBR (40G) 63 1 - free - (512B) 64 79691776 1 freebsd [active] (38G) 79691840 4194240 - free - (2.0G) I thought that MBR is outdated. But the hosting company told me that FreeBSD 11.1 is using MBR by default. Is that correct? My problem with the MBR machine is that I cannot add a swap device. There are 2GB free space, and I want add a 1GB swap device: $ gpart add -s 1G -t freebsd-swap vtbd0 gpart: Invalid argument is this an MBR issue? thanks, Wolfram -- Wolfram Schneider <wosch_at_FreeBSD.org> https://wolfram.schneider.orgReceived on Sun Jan 07 2018 - 16:59:06 UTC
