    what if you fdisk /dev/sd1 Commented Aug 12, 2024 at 0:16
  • @JaromandaX /dev/sd1 does not exist. virtual-server# fdisk /dev/sd1 fdisk: opendev('/dev/sd1', 0x0): No such file or directory virtual-server# Commented Aug 12, 2024 at 1:14
  • that's odd. lsblk clearly states that sd1 is a block device. I'm assuming BSD (I haven't used it in 20 years) the physical devices are sd0, sd1 etc, and the partitions are the ones with letters after the 0, 1 etc? of course, the is not a character device error looks really odd Commented Aug 12, 2024 at 1:31

    Are you saying that /dev/sd1c exists, but that /dev/sd1 does not exist? Commented Aug 12, 2024 at 5:13
  • That's not a 1, That's an L but lowercase. I'd bet you a hole in a donut sd1 doesn't exist, but that sdl does. Or vice versa if you're typing an L it's a 1. Commented Aug 12, 2024 at 20:59
