Hi! After browsing and googleing a lot I have no other idea how to mount my logical partition. I'm using RELEASE-5.2.1 with a freshly compiled kernel (yes, with msdosfs included). The output of fdisk is here: #fdisk ad0 ******* Working on device /dev/ad0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=116301 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=116301 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 7 (0x07),(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX) start 63, size 16386237 (8001 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 1019/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: sysid 15 (0x0f),(Extended DOS (LBA)) start 16386300, size 100840005 (49238 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 1020/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63 # file -s /dev/ad0s5 /dev/ad0s5: x86 boot sector, extended partition table After I try to mount it brings up the following error: root@cheetah:~# mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s5 /mnt msdosfs: /dev/ad0s5: Invalid argument root@cheetah:~# mount -t msdosfs /dev/ad0s5 /mnt msdosfs: /dev/ad0s5: Invalid argument root@cheetah:~# mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0s5 /mnt mount_msdosfs: /dev/ad0s5: Invalid argument Is there a workaround for this? As I mentioned I found nothing on the web that could help me. Thanks, Thomas ps: I'm not on the list, please cc it to me as well.
