Hello,
I'm on alpha and want to get data from BSD partition on a disk from a
NetBSD/i386 machine. So I did:
mbrlabel sd2
the result was surprising:
----
Found 4.2BSD partition; size 12287983 (5999 MB), offset 63
adding 4.2BSD partition to slot a.
3 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
a: 16384 63 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0*- 13*)
c: 35937500 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 29898*)
Not updating disk label.
----
Size 6GB for a BSD partition looks reasonable, but why is later the size
displayed as 16386 sectors, insead of 12287983 as in the first message?
This is on 3.0_BETA.
Please, isn't this a bug? Or is just my expectation wrong?
Bye Pavel
