kfmut but why fdisk provides false info on disk partitioning is beyond me.
It isn't exactly false--just different.
fdisk
provides a MS-DOS view of the disk. The disklabel
program tells you how NetBSD views the same disk (in the absence of a GPT layout where wedges are created automatically).
Every disk on NetBSD has a disklabel (whether real or fictitious). If there is an actual disklabel, then that will be used. If there is none, then, on MBR partitioned disks, a fictitious label is created by the kernel and the partitions listed in the MBR are assigned starting from letter e
. a
is "reserved" for a NetBSD root partition; b
for swap; c
covers the entire NetBSD partition in the MBR. d
is the whole disk. (The last two letters are how things are on amd64
, and it looks like, arm
as well. Other arches might use c
for the whole disk.)
kfmut Guess it wouldn’t be possible to mount ssd-drive by it's uuid?
If you use GPT, then you can mount using the GPT label: mount -t type NAME=GPT_label ...
