Hi,

Wojtek, can You show me exactly what to do ? I am afraid to lost all that data
? please :) Here is a outputs from fdisk wd1:

bash-2.04# fdisk wd1
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 16383 heads: 16 sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)

BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 16383 heads: 16 sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)

Partition table:
0: sysid 131 (Linux native)
    start 63, size 4192902 (2047 MB), flag 0x80
        beg: cylinder    0, head   1, sector  1
        end: cylinder  260, head 254, sector 63
1: sysid 5 (Extended partition)
    start 4192965, size 13848030 (6761 MB), flag 0x0
        beg: cylinder  261, head   0, sector  1
        end: cylinder 1023, head 254, sector 63
2: <UNUSED>
3: <UNUSED>

And here is disklabel output:

bash-2.04# disklabel -I -i wd1
partition> P
8 partitions:
#        size   offset     fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
  d: 18041184        0     unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0 - 17897)

  e:  4192902       63 Linux Ext2        0     0         # (Cyl.    0*- 4159*)

  f: 13848030  4192965     unused        0     0         # (Cyl. 4159*- 17897*)

partition>


thanx:* :)

Sincerely, 
Symka
