So "3", not "2" for the above context. It is probably an E-mail typo but the "adas2" is missing a "0" based on the picture. And oddity of the handling of the apple partitioning is the -i index vs. the M in the /dev/adaNsM naming. Again my context: # gpart show => 18 937703070 ada0 APM (447G) 18 1600 1 apple-boot (800K) 1618 430 - free - (215K) 2048 803209216 2 freebsd-ufs (383G) 803211264 35651584 3 freebsd-swap (17G) 838862848 98840240 - free - (47G) So -i 2 in gpart for ada0 is for /dev/ada0s3 . The picture did not show a "?" and its output so the above are notes without consideration of such. I will say that I've never tried storage media that had: quirks=0x1<4K> so I've no evidence of if it might matter for some reason vs not. > I have a box of new seagate disks here and will perhaps rip open the machine and try again after a remove and replace. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
