Hi, I am trying to install pfSense on a new device with a SATA disk.
I am trying to install a toshiba HD on an appliance, the Toshiba is a MK2565GSX of 250GB described here:http://www3.toshiba.co.jp/storage/english/spec/hdd25/65.htm#spec02 Disk geometry is detected by FBSD as 484 521 cylinder / 16 heads / 63 sectors. If I use a FBSD installer, the proposed init is as follow : Offset Size End Name PType Desc Subtype Flags 0 63 62 - 12 unused 0 63 488397105 488397167 ad1s1 8 freebsd 165 Or from what I am seeing from pfSense install is that he wishes to install : < 1: 232.88G (63-488397168) id=165 > If I follow this path, I end up with the following error : ad1: FAILURE - READ_DMA48 status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=10<NID_NOT_FOUND> LBA=18446744073709551553 The problem is that FBSD offers to stop at 488397167 not 488397168 !! I am afraid this might be the source of my problem… Isn't there a calculation problem somewhere in pfSense installer ? Or am I wrong somewhere ? What would be your advise? Is there any way for me to correct the 488397168 into 488397167 Any idea what is precisely going wrong? Thank you very much. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Gregober ---> PGP ID --> 0x1BA3C2FD bsd @at@ todoo.biz ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
