Path: sserve!manuel!munnari.oz.au!uunet!usc!news From: merlin@neuro.usc.edu (merlin) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd Subject: how to recognize additional physical partitions on one disk drive Date: 25 Jul 1992 02:06:54 -0700 Organization: University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA Lines: 9 Sender: merlin@neuro.usc.edu (merlin) Message-ID: <l726deINNc1j@neuro.usc.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: neuro.usc.edu I have a 676 MB ESDI disk -- the first 32 MB is a dos partition, the next 300 MB is 386BSD-0.1, then a gap and the last 200 MB is a diskmanager partition of about 200 MB. How do I refer to the addition of a fourth partition in the space currently between the end of 386BSD and beginning of the diskmanager partition? /dev/wd0a, wd0b, and wd0c seem all to refer to the same physical partition on disk.
