Recording your root disk layout

You should record the details of your root disk layout in case of a hard disk failure. If you have this information, you can rebuild your system without reinstalling.

Record the divisions of your UNIX partition in your system log with divvy(ADM), using this command:

divvy -P -N

The output will look like this:

   0              0          14999   boot     EAFS
   1          15000          39574   swap     NON FS
   2          39575         346775   root     HTFS
   3         346776        1022965   u        HTFS
   6        1022966        1022975   recover  NON FS
   7              0        1023983   hd0a     WHOLE DISK

If you have multiple partitions on the root disk, record them with fdisk(ADM), including the start and end locations. Use this command:

fdisk -p

The output looks like this:

   1 1 63999 UNIX Active
