Hi all
Life is so wonderfull, I got replies from
Dr Thomas.blinn
Alan Rollow
Macdonell Dennis
Siolshagen, Thomas and
Bert nance ( was not in office :) )
Thanks a lot to you all
my original question was
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I have reinstalled tru64 5.1a and have a parttioning question. There
are three disks dsk0 , dsk1 and dsk3
root_domain is on dsk3a
usr_domain is on dsk3g
usr_local is on dsk1c
The third disk i.e. dsk0 i want to partition in 2 partitions e.g.
dsk0b advfs
dsk0c say swap
the problem is diskconfig is showing the whole disk i.e. dsk0c as being
used as advfs i made it unused and created the partitions as i wanted
but when i reentered diskconfig or see it with disklabel it shows me
just one partition of dsk0c and is being used as advfs, some how
diskconfig is making the changes and saying that it is making the
changes permanent but is not actually doing so.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Sloution is
The graphical interface "diskconfig is not always reliable" so i
1) first removed any label from the disk
disklabel -z dsk0
2) Wrote the default label
disklabel -w r dsk0
3) Created the partitions with
disklabel -e dsk0
then created advfs and a swap partition have mounted advfs , still to
figure out how to use this swap partition .
Regards
Bobby
