Hello,

I'm installing a new disk, sd2, on my SS5/NetBSD 2.1
and I will ccd it with another one, sd3.

sd2 at scsibus0 target 4 lun 0: <IBM, DCHS09F  CLAR09,
HP53> disk fixed
sd2: 8578 MB, 6082 cyl, 18 head, 158 sec, 520
bytes/sect x 17298450 sectors
sd2: sync (100.00ns offset 15), 8-bit (10.000MB/s)
transfers, tagged queueing
sd3 at scsibus1 target 0 lun 0: <SEAGATE, ST15230N,
0638> disk fixed
sd3: 4095 MB, 3992 cyl, 19 head, 110 sec, 512
bytes/sect x 8386733 sectors
sd3: sync (100.00ns offset 15), 8-bit (10.000MB/s)
transfers, tagged queueing

I'm following ccd documentation :
http://netbsd.org/guide/en/chap-ccd.html

As there should be some old data on sd2, I'm trying
first to erase it as per the documentation but it
failed :

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd2c bs=8k count=1
dd: /dev/rsd2c: Invalid argument
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 0.011 secs (0 bytes/sec)

Trying to disklabel it failed as well :

root # disklabel -e -I sd2
disklabel: /dev/rsd2c: Invalid argument

root # disklabel -e sd2

# /dev/rsd2c:
type: SCSI
disk: mydisk
label: fictitious
flags:
bytes/sector: 520
sectors/track: 158
tracks/cylinder: 18
sectors/cylinder: 2844
cylinders: 6082
total sectors: 17298450
rpm: 7200
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0           # microseconds
track-to-track seek: 0  # microseconds
drivedata: 0

3 partitions:
#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize
cpg/sgs]
 c:  17298450         0     unused      0     0       
# (Cyl.      0 -   6082*)

=> disklabel: line 6: bad bytes/sector: 520
disklabel: sector size 0
re-edit the label? [y]: 

Any tips to label this disk ?

Thanks & regards,

Laurent
