And unstuck. The size of my partitions was off by several million bytes.
Thanks!

Still stuck!

I am using the word end as a placeholder for the size of the disk (sorry I reckon I should have put some bytes in there)
BUT, as a curiosity, I did try to use the word "end" now that you mentioned it... And it fails silently. Thanks for pointing to it!

Lorenzo Bivens <izaki@belaska.us> once said:
> echo part md0/plan9 /dev/md0/data 0 end >/dev/fs/ctl # correctly adds a partition to both disks
> echo part md0/fsworm /dev/md0/plan9 0 end >/dev/fs/ctl # adds the fsworm subpartition
Are you using the literal word "end" here?
It should be an integer. The fs(3) device
uses strtoll to parse the argument and will
silently return 0 if it is not a number
resulting in a zero length partition. This
should probably be an error but it's rare
to manually write to /dev/fs/ctl.
Just use disk/fdisk and disk/prep to figure
out the start and length offsets for the
plan9 and fsworm partitions, respectively.
Cheers,
Anthony
