Can't fdisk newly installed disks

[Simon Gao]

Hi,

I am running into some problem with fdisk newly installed drives.

>From boot message, these drives are found without problem:

da3 at mpt0 bus 0 target 2 lun 0
da3: <IFT A12U-G2421 347D> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device
da3: 160.000MB/s transfers (80.000MHz, offset 127, 16bit), Tagged

There are device files in /dev:

crw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,  14 Aug 13 17:14 /dev/da3
crw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,  15 Aug 13 17:14 /dev/da4
crw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,  16 Aug 13 17:14 /dev/da5


However, when trying to fdisk one of drives, I got following error:

# fdisk -BI da5
fdisk: cannot open disk /dev/da5: No such file or directory

sysintall failed also.

The system runs  FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE.

Any help is appreciated.
