Still having the problem on that one file system. I notice in the output of fdisk that the cylinders do not go beyond 1023. Here is my configuration again (I cleaned it up a bit): Primary 20 GB disk: ad0s1 windows slice fat32 (type 11) ad0s2 fat32 (type 11) Secondary disk: ad2s1 (root) ad2s1(some letter) (/usr) ad2s1(some letter) (swap ad2s2 fat32 (type 11) I can mount everything on the first disk fine. Everything is within the first 1024 cylinders. I can mount everything on the second disk fine with the exception of ad2s2(fat32). ad2s1(swap) ends past cylinder 1023 but fdisk will not show that it does. ad2s2(fat32) beings some time after cylinder 1024 and here is the error mount is spitting back at me.... mount -t msdos /dev/ad2s2 /fat2 msods: invalid argument The ad0s2(fat32) mounts fine, I think because it begins before the 1024th cylinder. My guess is that as2s2(fat32) will not mount because it begins after the 1024th cylinder.

Try ad0s5 and ad2s4 (mabe ad2s5 also, if it an extended partition) Ciao Siegbert P.S.: If it doesn work give us the output of fdisk on your ad0 and ad2. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
