Re: fdisk/bsdlabel: cannot write to disk

But what? What f*cking manual did I not read? man atacontrol? I don't know if your problem is the same as mine, but I recently had a similar issue trying to partition a disk which came up in UDMA100 mode; it wouldn't work until I forced it to UDMA66. I think my problem came from the disk being attached with a less-than-optimal cable, but I haven't researched it further, as I don't need it to be particularly fast. Just a suggestion, though - all standard disclaimers about variations in your mileage apply.

fdisk/bsdlabel: cannot write to disk
Hello. I am rather new to FBSD5.3. I did a custom install leaving some room on my (ata) hard disks. Later I decided to create a separate /usr/obj partition. I started /stand/sysinstall and tried to create a new slice and a new partition in it. Sysinstall reported that it cannot write to the hard disk. Next I only tried to create a new partition inside an existing slice. The same again. I tried the same manually with fdisk/bsdlabel and the same happens. I tried it in single user mode and even booted FREESBIE. Always the same problem. I must be doing something simple very wrong. But what? What f*cking manual did I not read? Is there some secret geom rdonly switch I have to turn off?
