Chuck, If you have mounted another disk at dasdf1 previously, it may have been a different file system. Try chccwdev -d 0.0.xxx and then chccwdev -e 0.0.xxx where xxx is the minidisk address. Betsie

We'd like to mount the root FS on another server so can pull off a file that we really need. The server will boot into single user mode so that part of the FS is good. I've attached the mini disk to another Linux guest and IPL'ed it. I can see it as dev/dasdf1. When I try to mount it, I get the message "Wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dasdf1, or too many mounted file systems."
