this is a Maxtor 300G USB drive. A backup was written to it via a linux 2.4 server and now I would like to mount it on my FBSD laptop to read it and work with the files. When trying to mount it using mount_msdos I get the following: [ root @ stewie : ~] : mount_msdosfs -o rw /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb1/ mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Invalid argument and in /var/log/messages I get the following: Jun 24 15:43:52 stewie kernel: mountmsdosfs(): disk too big, sorry when trying to use ntfs to mount it I get : [ root @ stewie : ~] : mount_ntfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb1/ mount_ntfs: /dev/da0s1: Invalid argument and nothing in any log file. One of the taks I need to accomplish here is to copy all of the data on this 300G USB drive onto an identical 300G USB drive. I was going to mount both and just copy from one to the other. After reading about the limited writing capabilities in the man page of mount_ntfs I'm wondering if I would be better off doing this on a linux box. The linux box that created the origional backup onto the USB drive had no problem creating the Fat32 filesystem and writing to it. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
