You may encounter an error saying that freebsd cannot write data to the ad0 drive. There are several ways to solve this problem, and we will do it shortly.

I have a new 60 GB ATA hard drive and so far IDuring installation, only one 20 GB slice was made to support FreeBSD. wanted todayTo make more use of my 40 GB analog hard drive, create two additional slices at a time.20 GB. Well, fdisk reports that the disk geometry will be incorrect and exposes itbis 7476/255/63, the geometry of the old disk reports the bios. If I try to changeWhen saving to fdisk, I get the following error messages: Error: Item data cannot be created on disk ad0 Writing disk partitions returned an error status. It works for me!Hmm, tried multiplayer and singleplayer.Finally I booted from disket that used the FreeBSD 5.1B2 settings.Fdisk also reports that the disk is clearly malformed and the geometry implements it.7476/255/63. But creating slices and saving perks works:Initially did data for section:System ID 165 (0xa5), (FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)----[more]----Data for only two sections:System ID 165 (0xa5), (FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BS----[more]----Data for multiple partitions:System ID 165 (0xa5), (FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)----[more]----Data for section 7:I have now booted FreeBSD from a blank hard drive and am trying to create partitions.in brand new cuts. But I still get everything: Error: writing data - disk ad0Now I reboot with the installation floppies.

disklabel “ERROR: Unable to write data to save to disk”
Also, I’ve run out of swap space on my mail server running
spamassassin, so I’m trying to add a new pruning partition to a FreeBSD 6.2
system, but to no avail. He had a 4 GB Ntfs filesystem (a musical heirloom from his previous life as a personal PC) which I removed and intend to use as swap space. For some reason I just can’t create a disk label on the
swap partition and then there – it won’t unambiguously recognize the partition as something it can handle.
If I implement sysinstall as an interface with a drive label, I can get:
Hard disk: ad0 partition name: ad0s1 free: 10442187 (5098 MB blocks)
Whard disk: partition name ad0: ad0s2 free: 0 blocks (0 MB)
