I have a behaviour from disk/prep I do not understand. I want to setup a partition table on a venti server as follows.
%disk/prep /dev/sdE0/plan9 empty 0 204800 (204800 sectors, 100.00 MB) nvram 204800 204801 (1 sectors, 512 B ) empty 204801 204816 (15 sectors, 7.50 KB) arenas0 204816 209920016 (209715200 sectors, 100.00 GB) isect0 209920016 220405776 (10485760 sectors, 5.00 GB) arenas1 220405776 430120976 (209715200 sectors, 100.00 GB) isect1 430120976 440606736 (10485760 sectors, 5.00 GB) arenas2 440606736 650321936 (209715200 sectors, 100.00 GB) isect2 650321936 660807696 (10485760 sectors, 5.00 GB) arenas3 660807696 870522896 (209715200 sectors, 100.00 GB) isect3 870522896 881008656 (10485760 sectors, 5.00 GB) arenas4 881008656 1090723856 (209715200 sectors, 100.00 GB) isect4 1090723856 1101209616 10485760 sectors, 5.00 GB) arenas5 1101209616 1310924816 (209715200 sectors, 100.00 GB) isect5 1310924816 1321410576 (10485760 sectors, 5.00 GB) arenas6 1321410576 1531125776 (209715200 sectors, 100.00 GB) isect6 1531125776 1541611536 (10485760 sectors, 5.00 GB) arenas7 1541611536 1751326736 (209715200 sectors, 100.00 GB) isect7 1751326736 1761812496 (10485760 sectors, 5.00 GB) bloom 1761812496 1762861072 (1048576 sectors, 512.00 MB) empty 1762861072 1875379842 (112518770 sectors, 53.65 GB) Now if I write the partition to disk, and exit the prep, the bloom, isect7 and arenas7 partition are gone. If I prep the disk again it shows following %disk/prep /dev/sdE0/plan9 empty 0 204800 (204800 sectors, 100.00 MB) nvram 204800 204801 (1 sectors, 512 B ) empty 204801 204816 (15 sectors, 7.50 KB) arenas0 204816 209920016 (209715200 sectors, 100.00 GB) isect0 209920016 220405776 (10485760 sectors, 5.00 GB) arenas1 220405776 430120976 (209715200 sectors, 100.00 GB) isect1 430120976 440606736 (10485760 sectors, 5.00 GB) arenas2 440606736 650321936 (209715200 sectors, 100.00 GB) isect2 650321936 660807696 (10485760 sectors, 5.00 GB) arenas3 660807696 870522896 (209715200 sectors, 100.00 GB) isect3 870522896 881008656 (10485760 sectors, 5.00 GB) arenas4 881008656 1090723856 (209715200 sectors, 100.00 GB) isect4 1090723856 1101209616 (10485760 sectors, 5.00 GB) arenas5 1101209616 1310924816 (209715200 sectors, 100.00 GB) isect5 1310924816 1321410576 (10485760 sectors, 5.00 GB) arenas6 1321410576 1531125776 (209715200 sectors, 100.00 GB) isect6 1531125776 1541611536 (10485760 sectors, 5.00 GB) empty 1541611536 1875379842 (333768306 sectors, 159.15 GB) What's causing that? -marco ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T798ae549700d1ad5-Me8793ca87b6411c7971f8edb Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
