Blume von Contributed) writes: >sd3: invalid primary partition table: no magic >sd4: invalid primary partition table: no magic This is a warning. You can ignore it, or if you're too annoyed, put the `magic' there, it's a 0x55aa at offset 0x1fe of both your disks. The easiest way to do this is ``disklabel -B'', but be aware that this will destroy your fdisk tables (if any -- perhaps not, that's why the warning). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
