switching ide disk, change disklabel?
Hello, I am adding a new disk to the system to make my /home partition bigger. Currently I have /home on ad0s1e. I will be adding ad1s1e. After I copy all the data from ad0 to ad1 I want to remove ad0 and make ad1 the master on that controller. Will I need to change the disklabel of ad1 to ad0 at that point, or will FreeBSD automagically know what to do? Note that this is all on the second controller, so no booting happening here. Just /home data. uname -a FreeBSD xx..com 4.9-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p2 #1: Tue Jun 8 19:15:51 PDT 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DUALP3-RELENG_4_9 i386 Thanks, Alex ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you mean to move the disk containing ads1s1e from primary slave to the primary master then the partition will automatically become ad0s1e. But how are the other partitions in your system organised? Are you currently using ad0s1a, ad0s1b etc.? These will move with the disk.
