Re: Can't configure new disk



Please provide the output from dmeg(1) so we can determine if there is a disk wd1d and if it encountered some sort of error which prevented it from attaching.

I'm going to try a different disk just in case this one is bad in some way.


Thanks for responding,

Everything looks good to me - two things worth checking, first, that the
/dev/rwd1* special (char) files exist, and second, that there's no file
called "wd1" in the directory you're in when you run the commands.

If neither of those is the problem, show everything that happens when you
run "fdisk wd1" (or "disklabel -v wd1") - the actual error message might
provide a clue.   Also try "fdisk /dev/rwd1d" (etc.)
