I've a problem with my new harddisks.
I get an geometry incorrect when I fire up fdisk from the sysinstall menu.
The geometry is: 121600/255/63
It is a mirrored array (Intel MatrixRAID RAID1) with two Seagate SV35.3 1000GB disks.
When I use it anyway it I found the following problems:
df:
1K blocks total: 946015166 (very much less, but I think its normal)
1K blocks free(before putting anything on it): 870333954 (is this normal?)
But the real problem began when I used it to put data on it:
I was writing much data on it from to mv commands and was verifying some data with par2. Then all ssh shells wich where doing anything with the new disks freezed. After a while i decided (I couldn't kill one of them, it just keeped "running") to just reboot, and the shutdown failed (page fault I think).
When I finnaly booted it up again, I couldn't do fsck on this disk without give the -t ufs option. When I did give the -t ufs option all was clean. I just can mount it, but still I can't check it without the -t ufs option.
How can I fix it, or should I change the geometry and create the partition again? If so how can determine the geometry (I tried pfdisk on a bootable dos disk but it was showing a very low diskspace(something like 8GB or something)? What is wrong?
