create a FAT32 partition and format it.
Hi,
I added a second disk to my OpenBSD 4.7 machine. i done this : fdisk -e w I created a first full partition type : 0b when i type : fdisk wd1, i have the following 0: 0B 0 0 1 - 41609 15 63 [ 0: 41942880 ] Win95 FAT-32 Now, i suppose i need a slice to format it. disklabel -E wd1 I created a slice a but FSTYPE is 4.2BSD. I'm wrong somewhere. disklabel wd1a # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 41943040 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 1 c: 41943040 0 unused How can i proceed to format a disk FAT32 ? thanks |

OpenBSD normally probes the disk and automatically generates a pseudo disklabel with a single slice 'i' which spans the entire MBR partition.
I haven't really read the code that's responsible for this but maybe it also probes the filesystem for FAT metadata? Try manually creating a disklabel 'i' with the type 'MSDOS', after that.. run: $ sudo newfs_msdos -F 32 /dev/rwd1i I'm not sure if this will work or not though, creating the filesystem on Windows is the more typical method. |
