Weird. I can mount ext2fs on 7.0 (and previously on 6.0 and 6.2) and things mostly work. In the past I had ext2fs on both primary and extended slices (or whatever the preferred terminology is). This is on AMD64 with SATA drives. My ext2fs filesystems were created by Linux (32 bit Linux, since penguins can't count to 64). Are you sure that ad0s8 contains a valid ext2fs filesystem? Can Linux mount it and access it? Maybe try running fsck? What OS created (newfs/mkfs) the filesystem? Problems I have seen with ext2fs: There was some case where accessing a large ( > 1 GB) file (rm-ing it I think?) hung or paniced FreeBSD. Small files are fine. Sometimes on boot FreeBSD would get confused and think the fext2fs needed to be fscked dispite a clean shutdown, but wasn't able to do so automagically, so it dropped into single user mode and sat there waiting for manual intervention. I no longer have ext2fs automatically mounted. There is probably some configuration fix for this. ext2fs is unreliable and LOSES DATA under it's native Linux. ----------- Linus Is Not a Unix eXpert _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
