Hi I have sent this three or four times already in the last 30 hours and never seen it show up in the list... I am trying sending from a different account.
Over the weekend, I upgraded my HW on my server, replacing all disks with new ones. In order to do this, I mounted the new disks, used sysinstall to partition and label the new partitions, and then I used dump/restore to move all the old partitions files and data to the new partitions. I then took the old drives off, made appropriate fstab changes as needed, and rebooted. Then I noticed a problem. My "root" partition was now da0s1e instead of da0s1a . I can boot the machine if I manually enter the different partition letter into the bootloader, but the bootloader doesn't find its meta data settings and the machine won't boot unattended. How do I fix this? How do I change the root partition from using "e" to "a"? I would think I could use disklabel to map the "a" partition to the same range of blocks as the "e" partition, remake the special dev files, and be done with it. However, I am wanting some second opinions on this, and since I am not a disklabel guru, some guidance on how to use disklabel without screwing up my system would be appreciated. I am studying disklabel man pages, but I don't want to screw up my running system and would appreciate a small how-to explanation from someone who IS a disklabel guru :-) Thanks Chad To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
