Yes. Just a big fat place to put files. In that case I'm pretty sure that, in standard cases, it > should be possible to mounted it as /dev/ad8.

What it should ;) # ls /dev/ad* /dev/ad4 /dev/ad4s1b /dev/ad4s1e /dev/ad6 /dev/ad4s1 /dev/ad4s1c /dev/ad4s1f /dev/ad6s4 /dev/ad4s1a /dev/ad4s1d /dev/ad4s1g /dev/ad8 > # disklabel ad8 > > disklabel: /dev/ad8: no valid label found > > This is expected, BSD labels are not compatible among BSDs: > > The various BSDs all use slightly different versions of BSD labels > and are not generally compatible. > > (from bsdlabel(8) manpage). Thanks, didn't check it yet. That's why you can't (by default) see BSD labels created by another > BSD.

Obviously, yes. AFAIR they have their own identifier, too (read: There's a NetBSD identifier as well as an OpenBSD one)... Okay, I think I'll set up another machine running OpenBSD, migrate my workstation to FreeBSD and copy the stuff over the net... (Most convenient way, AFAICS.)
