i am trying to setup an encrypted partition on my disk by following the guide[1] but i am a bit lost and not quite understanding the way NetBSD partitions disks
/dev/wd1 is the disk i want to use (entirely) and it has been zeroed out with dd but i guess needs to be labeled and partitioned first before i can proceed to section " 14.3.2. Scrubbing the disk "? i was able to enter this command: # cgdconfig -s cgd0 /dev/wd1e aes-cbc 128 < /dev/urandom but when i try the next command this happens: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rcgd0c bs=32k dd: /dev/rcgd0c: Read-only file system (note that i'm not using NetBSD/i386 (but sparc64) so that's why i changed it to rcgd0c) is wd1e even the right partition i want to use? wouldn't i want wd1c so i can use the whole disk? but when i try that with the cgdconfig i get "Operation not supported by device" if i try to use 'disklabel -i /dev/wd1' i get a "could not read existing label" error, and here[2] is the output of fdisk. so anyway i guess if could get a little more help preparing the disk so i can get the encrypted partition setup, would appreciate it! 1. http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-cgd.html#chap-cgd-example 2. http://pastebin.com/LnEBDBfW
